Ruth Davidson has said she regrets her “mistake” in voting against a Bill on assisted dying, with the Scottish Conservative leader saying it is time for the law to change.
Ms Davidson said her own experiences of IVF treatment and some of those close to her suffering from dementia had led to a change of heart on assisted dying.
In a column for the Sunday Telegraph, she said her decision to vote against the Bill is the one choice that “eats away” after her 10-year career at Holyrood.
