The Oxford Union has withdrawn an invitation to a euthanasia activist who was set to speak.
The Oxford University debating society had invited Dr Philip Nitschke, the first doctor in the world to administer a voluntary lethal injection, to speak at a debate in May.
Union president Corey Dixon said: “We needed to ensure we had three speakers on each side of the debate, which was proving difficult due to Dr Nitschke’s attendance.”
