MPs back bill changes to prevent medics raising assisted dying with under-18s

Next week's final vote finely balanced, with scrutiny growing over loopholes and who will deliver the system

Medics would not be allowed to raise assisted dying as an option with under-18s, and advertising it would be banned under changes backed by MPs before a final vote expected next week.

The Commons voted on Friday on amendments to the assisted dying bill, which would legalise the option for terminally ill adults in England and Wales who have been told they have fewer than six months to live.
