Speaking yesterday during a debate on assisted dying, Mr Blomfield said: "It is by a coincidence to the day the eighth anniversary of my receiving a phone call here in Westminster that my father had been found dead in his garage.
"His experience shows how the existing law, not simply fails people, but leads to premature deaths."
