Proceeding contribution from John Baron (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 27 March 2012. It occurred during Backbench debate on Assisted Suicide.


Assisted Suicide

My hon. Friend is introducing the debate in a very measured way. I support greater patient choice at the end of life. It is absolutely right that there should be parliamentary oversight of prosecuting and sentencing policy, but does he agree that we must never leave far behind the notion that at the core of the debate is compassion, both for the patient and their immediate family? We must not lose sight of that.
