Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Rob Marris (Labour). It was answered on Thursday, 26 November 2009 on behalf of the Solicitor General.
Assisted Suicide
- Question
- The Judicial Committee in the House of Lords put the DPP in an invidious position in asking him to declare the law. That is a matter for Parliament, not the DPP. Do the Government have any plans in the near future to revisit section 2 of the Suicide Act 1961?
- Answer
-
No, we do not. My hon. Friend is right that the law has not been changed.
