I am grateful to constituents for inviting me to
attend a meeting of the APPG on Choice at the End of Life that will
take place on Tuesday 10th March.
I am sorry to inform them that I will need to
attend an urgent meeting in my capacity as Parliamentary Private Secretary to
the Health Secretary at the same time as the APPG meeting, and as such will
need to send my apologies to the organisers.
However I understand how sensitive and important
the issue of assisted dying is, and I would welcome constituents to write to me
again to invite me to future events on this issue.
