Brecon, Radnor and Cwm Tawe MP David Chadwick intends to vote in favour of the assisted dying bill.
MPs will vote on the Terminally Ill Adults Bill: Second Reading on Friday, November 29, which if it passes all stages of Parliament will give terminally ill people in England and Wales the right to choose to end their life.
“I have decided to cast my free vote in favour of Assisted Dying. This is not a decision I came to lightly and I recognise that assisted dying is a complex and sensitive topic. “In my opinion, the law in the UK should be changed to legalise assisted dying as a choice for terminally ill, mentally competent adults, with strong safeguards to make sure that it only happens if someone has made a genuinely voluntary, clear, settled and informed choice to end their life.“I believe that people with terminal illnesses deserve to live and die with as much dignity and control as possible.
“I passionately believe that this bill is not in any way a replacement for high-quality, properly resourced palliative care. Likewise, we must ensure that carers offering care for the terminally ill are better supported.
