CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IN DEPENDENT TERRITORIES: BALLOT FOR PRIVATE MEMBERS MOTIONS
1. The ballot for Private Members Motions, to be taken on Friday 13 January, was held this afternoon. The reault is:
(i) Mr Malcolm Rifkind
(Con: Edinburgh, Pentlands)
(ii)
Mr Arthur Jones
(Con: Daventry)
(iii) Mr Jim Callaghan
(Lab: Middleton & Prestwich)·
2. The Table Office tell me that none has yet put anything down on paper (the ballot only just having taken place) but that the normal practice is that each MP will merely table their Motion for the moment in the form:
to call attention to a subject; and to move a Resolution"
They will have to reveal the subject of their Motions by Friday 16 December.
