Hansard: 26 January 1978
Miss Joan Lestor: Does my right hon. Friend recollect that following the execu- tions in Bermuda the House was promised a statement about the applica-- tion of capital punishment in dependent territories, associated States and colonies? In view of the fact that a man is under sentence of death in the Virgin Islands, can the Leader of the House promise a statement on this matter?
Mr. Foot: I cannot give a date for a statement, but in the light of what my hon. Friend has said I shall inquire into the matter and see what can be arranged. The general question would require a geceral statement, but I shall inquire into the specific case.
