MHK behind bill welcomes progress on legislation
It will still be years before new laws designed to allow terminally ill people to seek medical assitance ending their own lives come into force on the Isle of Man, according to the MHK behind the proposals.
The Assisted Dying Bill has completed its passage through the House of Keys and the Legislative Council.
The bill will now need to be signed by five MLCs and 13 MHKs before being submitted for Royal Assent.
Mover of the private member's bill Ramsey MHK Alex Allinson says the approach has been measured:
Warning over flare disposal after amenity site fire
Drug-driver jailed after passenger injured in crash
Suspended sentence for 56-year-old in cannabis supply case
Owner of a block of flats fined for failing to meet fire safety regulations
Review of taxi fares extended to assess impact of Middle East conflict
