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


Assisted Suicide

I entirely agree with my hon. Friend, but equally she should not attribute too much to the Commission on Assisted Dying, as it was a self-appointed commission that was funded mainly by a pressure group that holds a very clear view of the existing law and how it wishes to see it changed. I also point out to my hon. Friend that this House at the very beginning of this Session argued for e-petitions, and that the same House is now arguing that e-petitions should be abolished because they produce absolutely nothing other than hundreds and thousands of e-mails.
