Plaid Cymru calls for small party inclusion in assisted dying bill review after MPs vote in favor

MPs have voted 330 to 275 in favor of the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill at its second reading. The bill aims to establish assisted dying rules, but several MPs emphasized the need for strong safeguards in its final form. Plaid Cymru leader Liz Saville Roberts urged that small parties be included in the committee reviewing the bill, highlighting its implications for Wales. Other MPs echoed the need for diverse representation to ensure thorough scrutiny. Labour MP Kim Leadbeater assured that the committee will consider a range of views and will meet over several weeks. The bill must undergo further scrutiny in committee and the House of Lords before it can become law.
