Dear Ted,
You were kind enough to offer to meet me to discuss the Government's attitude to the question of capital punishment in the Dependent Territories. Unfortunately we were unable to meet before the House rose. I wonder if you could let me know what the Government's. attitude is to capital punishment and whether there is any possibility of steps being taken to abolish capital punishment throughout our overseas possessions.
Yours sincerely,
