NEW: Kim Leadbeater is tabling several amendments to her assisted dying bill.
They include making sure a doctor raises other options incl palliative care if and when they raise assisted dying with a patient.
And doctors must produce detailed assessment of coercion & capacity.

I’m in favour of the principle of the bill but I’d vote it down for that amendment alone.
A mess is, well, messy but resolvable. A hames is “let us never speak of this again” territory.
