The Welsh Parliament is set to hold a “historic” debate and vote on assisted dying.

Julie Morgan has tabled a motion calling on the Welsh Government to support the principle of assisted dying and Westminster proposals for a compassionate change in law.
Her motion, co-submitted by the Conservatives’ James Evans and Plaid Cymru’s Adam Price and Heledd Fychan, is scheduled to be debated on Wednesday, 23 October.
The vote will be non-binding and Ms Morgan notes that responsibility for assisted dying is not devolved to Wales because it is a matter governed by criminal law.
Her motion says if assisted dying were legalised, the Welsh Government would require an in-depth understanding given its responsibility for health and social care.
