North East and Yorkshire: How did my MP vote on assisted dying bill?

More than 300 MPs backed a Bill that would allow terminally ill adults with a life expectancy of less than six months to end their lives.

Yes campaigners wept, jumped and hugged each other outside parliament as the vote result was announced, while some MPs appeared visibly emotional as they left the chamber.

MPs voted 314 to 291, majority 23, to approve Ms Leadbeater’s Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill at third reading.

This means the Bill has completed its first stages in the Commons and will move to the House of Lords for further debate and scrutiny.

Both Houses must agree the final text of the Bill before it can be signed into law.
