'I would have wanted to end life on my terms'

Guy Opperman said he realised people deserve "the death of your choice" after undergoing surgery to remove a tumour.

The minister for roads and local transport said: "Many in my NHS ward did not make it. Many died a long and painful death.

"If I were not one of the lucky ones post-surgery, I would have wanted to end my life on my terms." The MP for Hexham began suffering from fatigue and headaches months after his election in 2010.

Writing in support the Express Give Us Our Last Rights crusade today, he recalls being rushed to hospital after collapsing in Parliament.
