Summary

In a dramatic and closely fought vote on 11 September 2026, the House of Commons rejected legislation that would have legalised assisted dying for terminally ill adults in England and Wales. MPs voted 286 to 270 against the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill at its second reading, a majority of just 16 that ended the latest parliamentary effort to change the law.
