Opponents of the assisted dying bill have accused its supporters of bullying after key backers said they would attempt to bypass the House of Lords if peers continue to block it. The bill would legalise assisted dying for people with a terminal illness with less than six months to live. If MPs were to pass the bill again, it would trigger provisions in the Parliament Act that allow MPs to assert their will over the Lords. Should the Lords block the bill again, the override mechanism in the act would mean it would still become law. And the Parliament Act gives us those options.
