CAPITAL PUNISHMENT
"24/6.
1. SHCMAN, ATTORNEY-GENERAL CALLED TODAY TO TELL ME THAT
WHEN PREMIER PRICE WAS IN THE UK RECENTLY MR ROWLANDS HAD POINTED OUT TO HIM THE DIFFICULTIES IT WOULD CAUSE FOR THE UK GOVERNMENT
IF A CAPITAL PUNISHMENT WAS CARRIED OUT IN BELIZE. PREMIER PRICE ACCEPTED THIS AND AS A RESULT, SHOMAN, A MEMBER OF OF MY MERCY COMMITTEE, WILL BE ADVISING ME TO USE MY PEROG- ATIVE OF MERCY IN THE CASE OF LEOPOLD JONES. ROGERS, MINISTER OF HOME AFFAIRS, THE SECOND MAN OF MY COMMITTEE, IS OUT OF THE COUNTRY AT THE MOMENT BUT SHOMAN SAID THAT PREMIER PRICE WOULD BE SPEAKING TO HIM SIMILARLY. I KNOW THAT ROGERS FEELS STRONGLY ON THIS ISSUE BUT BELIEVE NEVERTHELESS THAT HE WILL FOLLOW PREMIER PRICE'S ADVICE. THE THIRD MEMBER OF THE COMMITTEE IS THE CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER.
2. I WOULD OBVIOUSLY NOT GO AGAINST THE ADVICE OF MY MERCY COMMITTEE AND AND IT NOW THEREFORE LOOKS AS THOUGH I SHALL BE EXERCISING MY PEREROGATIVE OF MERCY IN THIS CASE. I WILL HOWEVER CONTINUE TO SEND YOU THE PAPERS SO THAT YOU HAVE ALL THE FACTS.
3. PLEASE KEEP M AND C D INFORMED.
