Assisted dying bill for England and Wales: what amendments are likely to be proposed?

Improving oversight and addressing slippery slope concerns are among the priorities of the bill's critics

The House of Commons' backing of the assisted dying bill for England and Wales was a historic moment but just the first step in a long process.

One thing that was clear is that many MPs hope to see significant amendments to the bill that they voted on. That includes some MPs who voted in favour of Kim Leadbeater's bill but only because they anticipate that lingering concerns they have will be dealt with before it becomes law.
