flag Over 150 UK MPs urge Starmer to act as House of Lords delays end-of-life bill, risking its passage.

flag Over 150 UK MPs, including more than 100 Labour members, have urged Prime Minister Keir Starmer to act as the House of Lords slows progress on the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, with only half of over 1,200 amendments debated after 11 days. flag The MPs warn procedural delays risk blocking the bill’s return to the Commons before the session ends, undermining the elected chamber’s authority. flag They stress that while the government maintains neutrality, Parliament should decide on the significant social issue, citing strong public support. flag Lord Falconer, the bill’s sponsor, cautioned the Lords could lose credibility and may use a rare override procedure. flag A petition with over 97,000 signatures backs the call for elected representatives to determine the bill’s fate.
