Proceeding contribution from Joan Ruddock (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 27 March 2012. It occurred during Backbench debate on Assisted Suicide.
Assisted Suicide
I am grateful to the Minister. I want to take him up on that point, because he has made the seminal point that this is a very unusual—perhaps unique—circumstance, in which assisting is a criminal offence, but suicide is not an offence. Because it is such an unusual case, it may be reasonable for the Government to consult on whether the guidelines should go into statute.
