The assisted dying account could be defeated in the midst of growing concern about how it is treated, some ministers believe.
Sources told the mail that senior figures were 'beaten' by the return to major changes in the controversial legislation that was revealed last week.
Some in the government now think that it can be voted by MPs when it then returns to the commons because of ensuring that important guarantees have been weakened.
With a 55 majority in the second reading, only 28 former donors should change ideas for the terminally ill adults (Bill of life) to be defeated at the third reading – with at least two already indicated that they will do that.
One senior cabinet source told the mail: “Government figures now think that there is a real chance that the legislation will not be due to the following obstacles.”
But Labor Backbencher Kim Leadbeater, who takes the bill of the private member through parliament, assured this newspaper last night: 'I honestly do not recognize this at all of all the very constructive meetings I have had with the government at both ministerial and ministerial and at both ministerial and official level almost every day.
'The important point to remember is that MPs will have enough time to look at the bill in De Ronde when it comes from the committee. So it is really too early to speculate about future voices. '
Her bill would give terminally sick people with less than six months the opportunity to apply for a fatal dose of medicine, and last year she assured MPs that it would have the strongest protection in the world against coercion.

But last week she surprised Westminster by announcing that judges of the Supreme Court would no longer approve, instead propose a system that they called 'Judge Plus' in which social workers and psychiatrists would consider requests.
Details of her changes then revealed that there would also be a 'voluntary assisted dying commissioner' who would supervise these panels.
Families would not have to be told about the application from an assisted death for an assisted death and the panels could be kept private at the patient's request.
In the meantime, the Commission of MPs who were chosen by Mrs Leadbeater to investigate the bill of proposals to protect vulnerable people.
She also led to anger of campaigners of the disabled rights by rejecting criticism as 'noise in the debate on choice at the end of life'.
Palliative caretaker Rachel Clarke, who gave evidence to the committee, said the Sunday Times: “This feels like a rush, slap dash, on-the-head of legislation, and I believe my patients earn better.”

Labor -Back bencher Antonia Bance said: 'What your position in the field of assisted dying is, it is clear to me and many Labor MPs that this process and the bill are not suitable for the goal.
'The campaign of zeal of those who push the bill undermines confidence in the ability of parliament to create a system that treats people with dignity, but protects the vulnerable.
“This cannot continue. Proponents of assisted dying need to stop ignoring evidence with which they disagree and try to find a balanced way ahead. '
