A final vote on the assisted dying bill has been delayed until at least 20 June.

Pro-assisted dying MP Christine Jardine (Edinburgh West) accused other parliamentarians of “deliberately hanging about in the lobbies to delay the process” as the latest day of debate closed.

Ahead of the second day of the report stage, more MPs announced they were no longer in favour of the bill, but two MPs (Chris Bryant and Ellie Reeves) have reportedly switched in favour.
