Anna Dixon Speaks about her amendment to assisted dying bill

Anna Dixon MP for Shipley constituency, spoke today about the cross-party amendment to the assisted dying bill she co-signed this week.

Appearing on BBC Radio 4's Today Show, the Labour MP explained the rationale behind her decision to table the amendment, which seeks to prevent the bill from progressing through Parliament and allow more time for its debate.

If the amendment is selected, it will be voted on during the second reading of the assisted dying Bill on Friday, prior to the vote on the Bill itself. If the amendment receives majority support from Members of Parliament, it will prevent the Bill from moving forward to a vote.
