Description:

MPs vote to back a bill legalising assisted dying in England and Wales by 23 votes.

The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, will now progress to the House of Lords, where it will face further scrutiny.

This profound social change is now likely to become law.

After several hours of emotional debate, MPs were allowed to vote in accordance with their personal beliefs, rather than along party lines.
