Andy Burnham has told Labour MPs that he will not cast a vote(投票) when the assisted dying bill returns to the Commons(重返下议院) next month, to avoid influencing the debate.
安迪·伯纳姆已告知工党议员，当协助死亡法案下月重返下议院时，他将不投票，以避免影响辩论。
While supporters of the measure welcomed his move, No 10 officials said the prime minister had no wish to affect the process in either direction, and was just doing what he thought was best to allow MPs to reach their own collective view.(尽管支持者欢迎他的举动，但首相府官员表示首相无意影响进程，只是做他认为最有利于议员达成共识的事。)
尽管该措施的支持者对他的举动表示欢迎，但唐宁街10号官员表示，首相无意以任何方式影响这一进程，他只是在做他认为最有利于让议员们达成集体共识的事情。
In a separate letter to his ministers on Friday, Burnham warned them against trying to influence the process. When an earlier version of the bill was before parliament, Wes Streeting, the then health secretary who now holds the defence brief(职务，职责), voiced worries(表达担忧) about its impact on the NHS(英国国民健康服务体系).
在周五给大臣们的一封单独的信中，伯纳姆警告他们不要试图影响这一进程。当该法案的早期版本提交议会时，时任卫生大臣、现任国防大臣的韦斯·斯特里廷曾对其对国民健康服务体系的影响表示担忧。
