Greens respond to parliamentary vote on assisted dying Bill

Green MP Sian Berry said:

“Today’s decisive vote in Parliament represents how the public feels about this highly sensitive issue. 

“The debate was full of caring and compassion on both sides – with all MPs listening respectfully to one another. 

“Each Green MP came to their decision after listening closely to the debate without being whipped. 

“We are now ready to work cross-party for a final Bill that has had every line closely examined and which will relieve the suffering of people who are dying whilst improving the options available for all of us at the end of our lives.”
