Charlie Falconer says Labour colleague the justice secretary has ‘religious reasons’ for opposing assisted dying
Cabinet ministers should not “impose” their religious beliefs on others in their objections to assisted dying, a leading proponent of changing the law has said.
In response to an intervention from Shabana Mahmood, Charlie Falconer, a Labour peer and ally of Keir Starmer, said the justice secretary had “religious and spiritual reasons” for being opposed to assisted dying.
