Proposals to legalise assisted dying return to Parliament on Friday backed by Dame Esther Rantzen and Sir Keir Starmer but criticised by some professional medical bodies.
MPs will take part in a five-hour session during which various amendments to the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill will be debated and voted on.
It is possible this part of the process, known as the report stage, will run into a second day next month, meaning a vote on approval or rejection of the overall Bill would not take place on Friday.
