PLANS to introduce assisted dying in England and Wales have cleared their first parliamentary stages. 

MPs voted to pass the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill by 330 to 275, a majority of 55 votes.

But Scottish MPs bucked the trend, with most voting against the plans. 

Members were given a free vote in a rare Friday Commons session, which saw impassioned speeches on both sides.
