Proceeding contribution from Richard Ottaway (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 27 March 2012. It occurred during Backbench debate on Assisted Suicide.
Assisted Suicide
That is a fair point, and some people think it does represent a change in the law. However, the guidelines are set out as offering clarity on the application of the existing law, and not as changing the law. In the Purdy case, the House of Lords asked the DPP to set out how the existing law would be applied.
