British Labour MP for Rochester and Strood since 2024
Labour MP Lauren Edwards has announced plans to reintroduce the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill in the Commons after it was blocked by the Lords. The move aims to give terminally ill people in England and Wales the right to an assisted death with safeguards, despite criticism from some Labour MPs and disability campaigners. The bill previously passed the Commons but stalled in the Lords amid hundreds of amendments.
