Brecon, Radnor and Cwm Tawe MP intends to vote in favour of the assisted dying bill.

MPs will vote on the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill: Second Reading on Friday, November 29, which if it passes all stages of Parliament will give terminally ill people in England and Wales the right to choose to end their life. 

This bill is a deeply emotive subject and the debate over assisted dying has been ongoing for several decades. 

David Chadwick said he intended to vote in favour of the bill.

“Firstly, I should explain that as a political party, the Liberal Democrats are in favour of assisted dying. However, recognising the emotiveness of the subject at hand and the deeply held personal views on assisted dying, our MPs will have a ‘free vote’ – meaning that we do not have to vote along party lines. Sir Ed Davey, our party leader, will be voting against it.
