Kim Leadbeater hails 'respectful' debate as assisted dying bill passes for good of 'families'

Kim Leadbeater, the MP who made the Assisted Dying Bill possible, has described its passing as "surreal" and a "huge relief".

She told Sky News: "A huge amount of work has gone into getting us to this day. I think we had a very respectful debate – the chamber was, again, at its best, which I think was really important.

"But the important thing is we’ve got the bill over the line, which means so much to so many people. And I pay tribute to the families and people I’ve met in these recent months."
