The health secretary has said he is worried that legalising assisted dying could risk ill people feeling “guilt-tripped” into ending their own lives.
It emerged last week that Wes Streeting had privately told colleagues he would vote against the proposal next month.
MPs are due to debate the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill on 29 November, before voting on it.
Streeting told BBC Breakfast on Tuesday that he was “concerned about the risk of people being coerced into taking their own lives sooner than they would have liked, or feeling… guilt-tripped, feeling like a burden”.
