What happens next to the bill on assisted dying?
Briefly

"The MPs' vote to back the legalisation of assisted dying in England and Wales is a historic step, moving the Terminally Ill (End of Life) Bill closer to law."
"MPs heard there would be a period of up to two years before any new law was implemented because 'it is more important to get this right than to do it quickly.'"
"The support for the bill came with a conscience clause, meaning MPs were free to vote based on their beliefs, instead of party lines."
"With a current backing of 330 votes to 275, the bill will be scrutinized further through multiple stages before it could potentially become law."
