What might the final version of Kim Leadbeater’s Terminally Ill (Adults) Bill look like?

The TIA Bill is currently going through line-by-line scrutiny by the Common’s committee selected by Kim Leadbeater. Professor House gave oral evidence to the Committee and his analysis has continued to be quoted in key discussions regarding the assessment of people seeking assisted suicide, including psychological and social vulnerabilities, mental capacity, coercion, pressure and undue influence. He will update us on the Committee’s progress and the likely form of the Bill as it emerges from committee stage.
