Two Labour MPs have voiced their concerns regarding the assisted dying bill, with Andrew Gwynne questioning the adequacy of its safeguards and Paul Foster indicating he could oppose the legislation. Both cited alarm from the Royal College of Psychiatrists regarding the removal of judicial oversight and potential risks to vulnerable people. This skepticism has grown, with about 14 previously supportive MPs reconsidering their positions ahead of the bill's final vote. Some MPs, however, maintain their support, signifying a divided opinion within the party.
The bill has not been strengthened enough, and safeguards should go much further, according to Andrew Gwynne, who expresses his concerns over the assisted dying legislation.
Paul Foster emphasizes that he will not support the assisted dying legislation unless there are robust and enforceable safeguards to protect vulnerable individuals from harm.
About 14 MPs who previously supported the bill are now likely to vote against it, indicating a significant shift in views as scrutiny increases.
