Madam Deputy Speaker
Order. Long responses from the Leader of the House will mean that fewer colleagues will be able to get in.
Mary Kelly Foy (City of Durham) (Lab)
I have received a great deal of correspondence regarding the assisted dying Bill. I welcome the fact that Back Benchers will have a free vote. However, an issue as complex as this requires detailed scrutiny. As it stands, I am worried that colleagues will not have enough time to properly debate the Bill. Will the Leader of the House relay the concerns shared by many across the House that the assisted dying Bill should receive Government time over several days, so that we can do it justice?
