After much thought and careful consideration, I reluctantly voted against the Private Members’ Bill on Assisted Dying that was debated in the House today. Given the motion passed its Second Reading, I will keep an eye on its progress through the Committee Stage to come.

Thank you to all of my constituents and community groups, from both sides of this deeply personal issue, who took the time to write to me and share their views.
