'Public in favour of law change'published at 14.53
A fresh '"right to die" bill is to be introduced in the House of Commons by Labour MP Rob Marris.
The Wolverhampton South West MP won a private member's bill ballot last week guaranteeing time in the chamber for backbench legislation.
He said: "The public are clearly in favour of a change in the law and it is right that Parliament now debates this issue.
"Alongside the vast majority of the public, I am in favour of terminally-ill people who are of sound mind having choice at the end of life."
