Extract
On 27 March the House of Commons debated the policy guidelines of the Director of Public Prosecutions on prosecutions for encouraging or assisting suicide. The debate, introduced by Richard Ottaway (Conservative) and David Winnick (Labour), was broadly supportive of the guidelines. The motion was amended and the House resolved to welcome the policy guidelines and to encourage ‘further development of specialist palliative care and hospice provision’.
