Order. Order.

Hello, I'm Susan Hume and this is the Today in Parliament podcast for Friday the 13th of June.

Coming up, there's been another day of impassioned debate in the Commons on the assisted dying bill.

There are arguments over the details including an advertising ban

and the regulation of the drugs to be used. As far as I'm aware, they have not yet been used

for murdering people, which is what we are going to do here. But others say this is about

helping their families not go through a horrendous experience of watching a loved one die in agony.

And to call it murder and killing is so wrong.

And concern that British inventors are forced to go abroad for investment, leaving the UK as an incubator economy.

A great place to begin, but other countries too often are who gets to cash in.

But first, MPs have spent a further day in passionate debate on the bill which would allow

adults in England and Wales with less than six months to live to ask for help to die. But the

assisted dying bill didn't quite complete this intermediate stage

in the Commons as time ran out before the day's voting was finished. It will return to the

Commons next week. During the day, MPs examined some of the details of how the bill would work,

such as protections for vulnerable groups, an advertising ban and the rules around the drugs used in an assisted death.

Throughout the bill's passage, its sponsor, Labour's Kim Ledbetter,

has herself proposed changes to her original bill,

many of them to bring in extra safeguards.

But she did want to exempt most assisted deaths from coroner's inquiries.

Coroners investigate suspicious or violent deaths or situations where the cause of death is unknown.
