Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson raises concerns for disabled community after government passes assisted dying bill

Former Paralympian, Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson has raised her concerns for the disabled community in the wake of the government passing the assisted dying bill through the House of Commons.

Grey-Thompson sits in the House of Lords and has stated she hopes to amend the bill and make it stronger so that disabled people are less likely to be coerced into agreeing to assisted dying.

The baroness said, "Right now a lot of disabled people are worried and this is the job of the Lords, line by line legislation."

The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill was approved by 314 votes to 291 at its third reading in the House of Commons, a majority of 23.
