How did Yorkshire MPs vote on the assisted dying bill?

It could be legalised in England and Wales after a historic vote yesterday saw proposed legislation clear its first hurdle in Parliament.

A majority of MPs, including Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, supported a Bill that would allow terminally ill adults with a life expectancy of less than six months to end their lives.

There were at-times emotional scenes in the Commons as politicians on both sides of the debate made impassioned arguments for and against what has been described as a “major social reform”.

Encouraging or assisting suicide is currently against the law in England and Wales, with a maximum jail sentence of 14 years.

MPs voted 330 to 275, majority 55, to approve Spen Valley MP Kim Leadbeater’s Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill at second reading.

Fifteen members of the Cabinet, including the PM alongside Chancellor Rachel Reeves and Home Secretary Yvette Cooper voted for the Bill.

Meanwhile eight voted against, including Health Secretary Wes Streeting, Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner, Foreign Secretary David Lammy, Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood and Women and Equalities minister Anneliese Dodds, while there was no vote recorded for Scotland Secretary Ian Murray.

Former prime minister Rishi Sunak voted in support, while Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch voted against.

Yorkshire was one of the regions which had the highest proportion of MPs voting in favour.

South-west England had the highest proportion backing the Bill at 78 per cent, followed by Wales at 72 per cent, the East Midlands at 64 per cent and Yorkshire and the Humber at 63 per cent.

Northern Ireland saw the lowest proportion 9 per cent, followed by Scotland 30 per cent, London 37 per cent and north-east England 41 per cent.
