NOTES FOR SUPPLEMENTARIES
LESTOR.
WHEN WILL THE GOVERNMENT SEEK PARLIAMENT'S VIEWS?
It seems very unlikely that there will be time for a
debate on this question in the coming session.
PENDING CONSIDERATION OF THIS QUESTION BY PARLIAMENT WILL
THE GOVERNMENT TAKE STEPS TO ENSURE THAT NO FURTHER EXECUTIONS
ARE CARRIED OUT IN THE DEPENDENT TERRITORIES?
Under the policy that has been followed by successive
British governments, the Foreign and Commonwealth Secretary
does not intervene in capital cases in Dependent Territories
except to prevent a miscarriage of justice.
