1. In your minute of 10 August you kindly provided details of executions in certain former British dependent territories. As we are concerned with the Royal Prerogative of Mercy we should like to include information on those Commonwealth countries of which The Queen id Head of State.

Could you therefore let us have similar information for the following countries:-
Australia Bahamas Barbados

Fiji
Grenada
Jamaica
Mauritius
New Zealand
Papua New Guinea
Trinidad & Tobago (till 197)

It would be particularly relevant to know in which cases there was an appeal to The Queen.
