Proceeding contribution from Lord Low of Dalston (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 7 July 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HL) on Coroners and Justice Bill.


Coroners and Justice Bill

Given the response of the Attorney-General, I shall beg leave to withdraw the amendment. I will consider with my noble friend Lady Murphy whether we wish to return to the matter on Report. Although we have clearly pointed out the need to do better, we have not yet done better than anyone else in saying what that should be. The correct course, as the noble and learned Baroness suggests, is to keep the matter under review for the time being. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 171 withdrawn. Clause 47 agreed. Clause 48 : Infanticide (Northern Ireland) Amendment 172 not moved. Clause 48 agreed. Clause 49 : Encouraging or assisting suicide (England and Wales) Amendment 172A not moved. Clause 49 agreed.
