What
- MPs block the private member's bill on assisted dying in the Commons by 286 to 270.
- The measure would have allowed adults with terminal illnesses and under six months to live to end their lives with expert panel approval.
- A nearly identical bill passed the Commons in the last Parliament but was blocked in the Lords.
- It remains a conscience issue and was not government-sponsored; ministers stayed officially neutral.
- Prime Minister opted not to vote, citing a pause on the debate until social care improves.
