Failing to pass assisted dying legislation would undermine trust in politics, the prime minister has been warned by more than 100 Labour MPs. This is largely because more than 1,200 amendments have been tabled in the House of Lords, principally from opponents to the legislation. With only three of 14 days of debate in the Lords remaining, around half of the amendments are yet to be discussed. Labour MP Jess Asato, who opposes the bill, said: "The sponsor of the bill has rejected 99% of suggested improvements and amendments in the House of Lords and so it still contains all the same faults and issues. More than 100 Labour MPs who back the change have written to the prime minister, with further letters from MPs in other parties, asking him to guarantee "time will be found for Parliament to come to a decision in the next session". In total around 150 MPs have written to the Prime Minister.
