Milletvekilleri, yasa tasarısını tartışmak için haftada iki gün kadar toplanacak ve uzmanların katılacağı kamu oturumları düzenleyecektir. Tasarının 25 Nisan’da Meclis’e geri dönmesi beklenmektedir ve tüm milletvekilleri, komite tarafından önerilen değişiklikleri tartışma ve oylama fırsatına sahip olacaktır. Yasa tasarısının başarısız olma ihtimali var mı? Bazı milletvekilleri, geçen ayki ilk aşamada lehte oy kullandıklarını ancak son onaylarını vermeden önce değişiklikler istediklerini belirtmişlerdir. Yasaya karşı çıkan bazı kişiler, kampanyalarını “profesyonelleştirmek” amacıyla eski hükümet özel danışmanlarını işe aldıklarını ifade etmişlerdir.

Kim Leadbeater has selected the MPs responsible for detailed scrutiny of the assisted dying bill.
Made up of 14 supporters, including two ministers; nine opponents and senior voices from both sides of the debate, the committee will review the legislation line-by-line and suggest amendments before it goes any further.
A source close to Leadbeater, the Labour MP behind the bill, described the selection as “three-dimensional chess”, trying to balance opinions on assisted dying, party representation and MP schedules.
MPs backed the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, which would give people in England and Wales in certain circumstances the right to choose to end their own life, by 330 votes to 275 on 29 November.
The committee is made up of:
Kim Leadbeater (Labour) – Voted for the bill
Stephen Kinnock, Health Minister – Voted for the bill
Sarah Sackman, Justice Minister – Voted for the bill
Bambos Charalambos (Labour) – Voted for the bill
Marie Tidball (Labour) – Voted for the bill
Dr Simon Opher (Labour) – Voted for the bill
Jake Richards (Labour) – Voted for the bill
Rachel Hopkins (Labour) – Voted for the bill
Lewis Atkinson (Labour) – Voted for the bill
Naz Shah (Labour) – Voted against the bill
Juliet Campbell (Labour) – Voted against the bill
Danny Francis (Labour) – Voted against the bill
Sojan Joseph (Labour) – Voted against the bill
Jack Abbott (Labour) – Voted against the bill
Sean Woodcock (Labour) – Voted against the bill
Kit Malthouse (Conservative) – Voted for the bill
Neil Shastri-Hurst (Conservative) – Voted for the bill
Danny Kruger (Conservative) – Voted against the bill
Rebecca Paul (Conservative) – Voted against the bill
Tom Gordon (Lib Dem) – Voted for the bill
Sarah Green (Lib Dem) – Voted for the bill
Sarah Olney (Lib Dem) – Voted against the bill
Liz Saville-Roberts (Plaid) – Voted for the bill
Unusually, the bill’s committee includes double the standard number of ministers – with Health Minister Stephen Kinnock and Justice Minister Sarah Sackman both appearing.
Key figures from both sides of the debate are on the committee, including Tory MP Danny Kruger who is a vocal opponent of assisted dying and his Conservative colleague Kit Malthouse – who campaigned alongside Leadbeater for the bill.
The MPs will decide how much time to spend going through the bill. But it is expected to sit for up to two days a week for several weeks from the second half of January.
They will hold public hearings with experts invited to give evidence before proposing amendments to the bill.
Those behind the bill hope to have the committee process finished in time for it to return to the House of Commons on 25 April.
It is at that stage when all MPs will have a chance to debate and vote on the changes proposed by the committee.
Some of those opposed to the bill say they have hired former government special advisors to try and “professionalise” their campaign, believing they were too disorganised at the last vote.
They believe there are enough MPs who supported the bill initially, but could be persuaded to change their minds.
But supporters point out the majority of 55 in favour at the last vote was more than they expected and meant they were confident the bill would pass its remaining stages in Parliament.
