Business question from Mark Pritchard (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 25 February 2010. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
Notwithstanding her earlier protestations, will the Leader of the House arrange an urgent debate on assisted dying? It is Parliament that writes laws, and it is for the Director of Public Prosecutions and the courts to interpret those laws. There is real concern out in the community that the House is not having a say about the change in the law. People are very concerned about the possibility that it represents a new back door to euthanasia in the United Kingdom.
