Vol. 394 No. 5

Written Answers. - Law on Suicide.

105.

asked the Minister for Justice if he will up-date the law relating to suicide and attempted suicide as promised by his predecessor; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The question of abolishing the offence of suicide and consequently the offence of attempted suicide is being examined at present. That examination is proceeding as quickly as other urgent demands on my Department's resources permit and any legislative proposals I may bring forward to amend the law relating to suicide will be announced in due course.
