CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IN THE DEPENDENT OVERSEAS TERRITORIES
Thank you for your letter of 4 November.
I think it valuable to have your proposal on the record. We shall want to consider it further when, in due course, we return to the subject of our policy on capital punishment in the dependent overseas territories.
I am sending copies of this letter to the other members of GEN 103.
