Assisted Dying Bill: Why has it changed so much since November? | ITV News Analysis
Demonstrators gathered outside Parliament as the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill was debated in the Commons for the first time since November, when a historic yes vote saw a majority of MPs support the principle of assisted dying.
Since then, the proposed legislation has undergone changes after a weeks-long committee process, which saw a High Court judge safeguard replaced with a three-member expert panel, and the timeframe in which an assisted dying service might come into effect doubled to four years from royal assent.
So what elements of the Bill have been changed, and how did MPs react in the House of Commons today? ITV News UK Editor Paul Brand explains.
