[57] Carl I. Hagen, a member of the Standing Committee on Scrutiny and Constitutional Affairs sent questions to Mehl, asking her how many PST servicemen already have been subjected to "double authorization".
Mehl countered with arguing that she had the right to care about the closure of schools because she is an elected member of parliament and representative of her local county chapter in Hedmark.
As assisted suicide is illegal per Norwegian law, Mehl vowed that the police ought to crack down on the networks who offer the services.
