Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Lord Harper (Conservative). It was answered by Vera Baird (Labour) on Thursday, 26 November 2009 on behalf of the Solicitor General.
Assisted Suicide
- Question
- What discussions she has had with the Director of Public Prosecutions on his interim policy for prosecutors on assisted suicide.
- Answer
-
After the House of Lords required the DPP to produce his interim policy for prosecutors on cases of assisted suicide in July, my office was consulted by him, as is appropriate for a superintendent Department. The DPP's interim policy is now the subject of public consultation and a final policy will be issued next year. Let me emphasise that all cases alleging assisted suicide are assessed on their facts and merits.
