Business question from Richard Ottaway (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 15 October 2009. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
The Director of Public Prosecutions recently presented proposals to amend and clarify the law on assisted suicide. As it happens, I approve of the direction in which he is going, but does the Leader of the House agree that it is not for public prosecutors to decide what the criminal law of this country is? Will she arrange a debate, on a substantive motion, to ascertain the will of the House before the consultation period ends?
