Please Write to Your MP Archbishop Mark has spoken out on the return of the Assisted Suicide Bill to Parliament: "It is immensely disappointing that the Bill to legalise assisted suicide is being re-introduced to Parliament. It does nothing to uphold the dignity of every person, or encourage investment in good palliative care, which is the best way to accompany those facing challenging situations at end of life." The Bill will have its Second Reading and vote on Friday 11th September. Please take a few minutes this week to write to your MP and make your opposition heard - even if you've written before, please write again.
