This is unfinished business for parliament.

The Parliament Acts are just there as a back stop or insurance policy against another undemocratic filibuster that would thwart the will of the elected chamber.

I've seen no indication that people have changed their minds who were supportive of the bill in the past.

My position was always that I was supportive of the issue in principle, but I would need to have assurance that the safeguards were robust and were appropriate and will protect vulnerable people.

It's all about giving people a choice, and so I absolutely know that I'll go through a process that Kim's gone through, probably even worse, but that is a small price to pay for what I hope to be able to do, which is introduce this…

I would ask them to do the really important job that they are there to do and that they do admirably and that is to refine the legislation the House of Commons has introduced.

After giving the matter a great deal of thought, I will be reintroducing the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill.

I believe it is a fundamental democratic principle that the elected chamber, the House of Commons, should decide what does and does not become law in this country.

We are elected as MPs to deal with some of those difficult issues, to have those difficult conversations. We aren't elected to do the easy things.

Those people quite rightly had a hope that this was going to be introduced.

I think there's an obligation for us to do it.
