- Legal Eagle with Andrew Freckleton

The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, sometimes known as the 'assisted dying bill', is something that is currently being scrutinised by the House of Commons. A bill is a proposed piece of legislation that has to be contemplated and assessed by both the House of Commons and the House of Lords. To become law, the bill has to be passed by both houses and granted royal assent by the King.
