Rejected petition Hold a Referendum on the Assisted Dying Bill

Social change on this scale should not be decided by Parliament alone.

The bill was only produced through a lottery and will change the fabric of our society.

The silence in the chamber after the vote spoke volumes.

For a new Government not to take a stance on this issue is inadequate.
