Charlie Gard’s parents had privately expressed concerns in July, after discovering that the lawyer representing their son in court heads a charity that backs assisted suicide.

Victoria Butler-Cole, who spoke on Charlie’s behalf in court, is chairman of Compassion in Dying, a sister organisation to Dignity in Dying which campaigns for assisted suicide to be made legal in the UK.
