Kirklees four Labour MPs say the "short-term financial fix" could lead to "long-term issues".

The bill's committee is made up of 14 supporters, nine opponents and senior voices from both sides of the debate.

MPs passed the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, put forward by MP Kim Leadbeater.

Guernsey's former chief minister said he was "very supportive" of assisted dying.

While MPs debated the bill in parliament, supporters and opponents gathered outside.

A proposed law would let terminally ill people in England and Wales choose to end their life.

MPs have backed a change in the law, but the measure still faces many hurdles before coming into force.

MPs are voting in what could be one of the most momentous decisions of their political lives.
