Labour MP introducing assisted dying legislation Kim Leadbeater says she has no doubts about the bill and tells Sky’s Trevor Phillips "I wouldn’t have put the bill forward if I did".

She calls for a "robust" debate on a "hugely important subject", but asks for people to be "respectful" and "compassionate" throughout that debate.
