MPs have voted against legalising assisted dying in England and Wales, with the bill defeated 286 to 270 at its second reading. The result is a major setback for campaigners and means the measure is unlikely to become law before the next general election. A near-identical bill passed the Commons in the previous parliament but was later blocked by the House of Lords.
