MPs have been voting on amendments to the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, also known as the assisted dying bill.

Here are a list of the amendments that MPs have backed:

- Clause 13 - This imposes a duty on ministers to regulate which substances and devices can be used to carry out assisted dying

- Clause 15 - This means assisted dying deaths are not automatically referred to the coroner

Clause 18 - This would ban healthcare professionals from raising assisted dying with someone under the age of 18-years-old

- Clause 20 - This would force the secretary of state to issue guidance on assisted dying

- Clause 21 - This is for the devolved government in Wales, and says ministers there must ensure "all reasonable steps are taken" to ensure assisted dying patients can access Welsh language services

Watch: Doctors split over assisted dying

But MPs also rejected a number of amendments. These included: 

- Clause 1 - This would have prevented health professionals from raising assisted dying, unless a patient mentioned it first. MPs argued this would have prevented doctors from setting out a patient's options

Clause 14b - An amendment to an amendment on banning advertising (that was passed), which would have tightened exceptions to this

The report stage of the bill has ended for today and will now be resumed next Friday, on 20 June.

MPs have passed an amendment to the assisted dying bill, which would prevent doctors raising the subject with terminally ill children.

Parliamentarians have been voting on amendments to the Terminally Ill Adult (End of Life) Bill, proposed by Kim Leadbeater. 

It follows a lengthy debate in the Commons that lasted more than four hours, as the bill undergoes its report stage.

MPs have backed clause 18, which would introduce the ban on healthcare professionals raising the subject of assisted dying with those aged under 18, should the bill become law. 

It means the clause will now be added to the bill. 

But MPs rejected an amendment which would have banned healthcare professionals from raising the subject of assisted dying with all patients unless the patient themselves brought it up. 

Critics of that clause argued that this would have prevented doctors from setting out all the options for terminally ill patients.

MPs are expected to vote on the bill as a whole next week, which could see it thrown out or advanced further - making it one step closer to becoming law.

MPs have backed an amendment that would impose a ban on advertising assisted dying should the bill become law.

Clause 14, put forward by the originator of the bill, Kim Leadbeater, would mean the government must make rules banning advertisements to promote services relating to assisted dying.

But MPs voted against an amendment, put forward by Labour MP Paul Waugh, which would have strengthened the ban by preventing the government from allowing exceptions to the ban if it wanted.

Officials inside the British foreign office and the Ministry of Defence were aware in advance of Israel鈥檚 plan to attack Iran.

But it is not clear if the Israeli government formally alerted the UK, Whitehall sources said.

Earlier a Whitehall source indicated the UK had not been aware, pointing to the fact that David Lammy only belatedly cancelled a trip to the US to meet his American counterparts this morning.

However, two separate Whitehall sources said officials within government yesterday had been anticipating the Israeli strikes.

It is not clear whether the UK was formally told by the Israeli government or whether the information was received via informal channels.

The prime minister鈥檚 spokesperson also declined to say whether Sir Keir Starmer had spoken with Benjamin Netanyahu ahead of the Israeli strikes.

More than fifty people crossed the English Channel and arrived in the UK in a small boat yesterday, new data shows.

The Home Office and Border Force confirmed that the suspected migrants arrived in the UK on Thursday. 

It follows 400 people successfully making the dangerous journey in six small boats on Wednesday. 

But it should be noted that no people were recorded as arriving in the UK via small boat for the previous seven days before that.

The number of people arriving illegally in the UK is at a record high, with the greatest number of people having arrived already by this point in the year since records began in 2018.

Kemi Badenoch has said the Conservative Party would reverse green policies and scrap a "regressive tax on one of our most successful industries".

The Conservative leader has addressed the Scottish Tories at their conference in Edinburgh this morning. 

She spent slightly over half of her speech attacking her opponents. 

But in a moment of enlightenment, Badenoch said: "I could be here all day talking about all the things that the SNP and Labour are doing wrong. 

"But the truth is, people want to know what we are going to do."

The answer to that question, Badenoch said, is scrapping the windfall tax on oil and gas producers. 

She said it was introduced when oil pries were at an all-time high, but warned Labour would allow it to remain in place until 2030, at which point there would be "no industry left to tax".

Badenoch explained: "People are not investing in the North Sea any more. That's why we shouldn't have this energy profits levy at all. 

"And what is Reform's answer to energy policy? That the government should nationalize oil and gas. The last thing we need is more politicians meddling with business."

Scottish Tories to go big on North Sea oil and gas

She also called for scrapping the ban on new licences to source oil from the North Sea, and would overturn the ban on supporting oil and gas technology exports.

Badenoch added: "We will let this great Scottish industry thrive, grow and create jobs, ensuring our energy security for generations to come and making Scotland richer in the process."

In a nod to the agricultural sector, Badenoch also committed to overturning "the family farms tax" - the government's inclusion of farms worth more than 拢3m in paying inheritance tax.

The Tory leader said these policies will show to the public that the Conservatives "have changed" and are now "doing things differently".

Kemi Badenoch attacked the SNP for being "obsessed with breaking up our country", 11 years after the independence referendum.

The Tory leader has been addressing her party's Scotland Conference in Edinburgh.

She used the opportunity to turn her fire on the SNP, who she accused of "wasting millions on independence propaganda", and "publishing papers with nonsense claims about NATO, the EU and nuclear weapons".

Badenoch also said the SNP are "wasting millions" on failed projects and "introduced hate crime laws that jeopardized free speech".

She went on: "They were putting rapists in women's prisons until the Conservative government stopped them. 

"This year we saw the SNP suffer yet another loss in the Supreme Court because instead of sorting out Scotland they were trying to redefine what a woman is. 

"This is not a party that is focused on what people in Scotland need."

Why focus so much on the SNP?

If you're wondering why Badenoch has spent so much time attacking the party, the results of the recent by-election in Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse may shed some light.

The results of that vote, earlier this month, saw a new Labour MP elected. But the SNP received only 2.2% less of the vote than the winners, winning 29.4% of all ballots cast. Reform won a further 26.1%, while the Tories received just a paltry 6% of the vote.

Badenoch spent the next chunk of her speech talking up her party's Scottish leader, Russell Findlay - who took over last September.

She pitched her party in Scotland as the only one offering honesty.

Badenoch said: "Russell and I have both been open that in government we didn't always get things right. 

"That's something you will never hear from the SNP or Labour. They will never be honest with you when they get things wrong. We are. And we will be."

A little earlier in the debate over assisted dying in the Commons, an MP described it as "murder" to cries from other politicians. 

Now a Liberal Democrat has said MPs "have a duty to mind our language".

Caroline Voaden spoke passionately about the issue, saying it is "so wrong" to use phrases like "murder" when talking about assisted dying. 

The MP, whose voice cracked with emotion, said: "We've heard the word 'murder', 'killing', 'suicide'.

"Twenty-three years ago next week my husband died of terminal cancer. He was in extreme pain and was given morphine to relieve his pain. And, as the pain got worse, he was given more morphine so that he could die gently and not in complete agony.

"This is about helping people die in a civilised way and helping their families not go through a horrendous experience of watching a loved one die in agony.

"To call it murder and killing is so wrong, and I think we have a duty to mind our language about this bill. 

"It's about helping people die quickly and with dignity, it's about assisted dying."

The assisted dying bill currently says that the service should be available to patients within four years. 

But an MP has said this proposed deadline should be scrapped, as he fears it could lead to the first cases of assisted dying happening "regardless of how far along the plans and preparations are".

Labour's Adam Jogee said: "The last thing we should be doing is rushing this process".

Instead, his amendment 42 to the bill would mean ministers must make a commencement order before patients can access assisted dying. 

The amendment has not been added to the bill yet, but has the backing of more than 60 cross-party MPs.

One death because of a rushed decision would be one too many

Jogee explained to the Commons that a deadline means patients must be granted access to the service "regardless of how far along the plans and preparations are" in terms of the drugs used, the identification and training of those on the panel assessing patients, the impact on the NHS and budgets, among other things.

So, Jogee said: "Let鈥檚 not impose a timeframe that puts us in a bind and means we are driven by timing over purpose, and the pressure that comes with a ticking clock rather than by doing it properly."

"One death because of a rushed decision would be one too many.

UK 'not innovators' - so assisted dying should be implemented sooner

By contrast, Lib Dem MP Tom Gordon has proposed shortening the time assisted dying is implemented to three years, speeding up the rollout.

His amendment is because he believes the "status quo is not acceptable" and people are having to travel abroad for assisted dying. 

Addressing criticisms this would be rushed, he told the Commons: "We're not innovators, we're not leaders in the field.

"There is no reason that we can't take best practice and learn and speak to colleagues around the world."

Groups of campaigners both for and against legalising assisted dying have gathered outside of parliament, to call on MPs to act.

Those in favour of assisted dying are currently in Parliament Square as the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) bill is being debated in the Commons. 

The bill is undergoing a second day of report stage, where various amendments to the proposed legislated are being discussed and voted on.

It comes ahead of the bill's third reading next week, where it is expected MPs will have to decide whether to continue passing it or whether to vote against it and end its journey through parliament.

The Campaign for Dignity in Dying is calling for the bill to become law. 

By contrast, those opposed to the bill are also in Parliament Square, calling on the government not to turn the NHS into the "national suicide service".

They warn that elderly or vulnerable people could feel pressured into assisted dying or be wrongly permitted to end their own life with an incorrect terminal diagnosis or prediction of how long they have left to live.
