Officials and civil servants have been advising Leadbeater on drafting amendments, including suggesting changes the government wants.A spokesman for Leadbeater said: "Kim hopes and believes the service can be delivered more quickly if it becomes law later this year."

Part of the reason for postponing the deadline is to allow time to set up training and systems for what would be an entirely new service.Changes made to the bill since MPs voted in favour, including a new commission and panel system to oversee application, have added to that.Leadbeater's new amendment changes the maximum implementation period from two years to four years.

However if all the systems are ready before four years, assisted dying will go ahead earlier than the deadline.It is understood there is disagreement among ministers about the delay to implementation, with some believing it is a mistake.

The government is officially neutral on the bill with many ministers supporting it.

"I cannot pretend that I'm not disappointed about extending the commencement period," Leadbeater told MPs on the committee, which finished its scrutiny of the bill late last night.One MSP told the BBC she received more than 200 emails the night before the vote. Another said he got about 1,600 over the week building up to it.

Labour's deputy leader Jackie Baillie told the chamber that she was still receiving correspondence moments before heading into the debate.Reciting some of the examples of deeply personal testimony she had been sent, she said that "all of these stories weigh heavily in our decision-making".

We also may never know how big of an impact the interventions from the likes of John Swinney and Nicola Sturgeon had.While they didn't mount campaigns or try to nudge members into backing their position, the arguments of leadership figures could have had outsize influence in the minds of swithering backbenchers.
