Liam McArthur is the third politician to try to pass such controversial legislation through the Scottish Parliament.

Legislation to make assisted dying legal in Scotland could be introduced at Holyrood in the "coming weeks", an MSP has said.

McArthur has now confirmed to MSPs that he would “hope to be in a position to formally introduce my Assisted Dying For Terminally Ill Adults Bill in the coming weeks”. A “reflection period” would then take place before a doctor would prescribe the necessary medication, which the person would have to be able to take themselves.

“Please do not hesitate to get in touch, or ‘collar’ me in passing,” he told MSPs in an update about the proposals.
