BERMUDA:

PREROGATIVE OF MERCY

1. You have kindly sent me copies of several submissions recently on the Governor of Bermuda's proposal to change the proced- ures for operating the prerogative of mercy. You will now have seen Sir Peter Ramsbotham's letter to Mr Cortazzi of 20 February. May I take it that your department will be sub- mitting a draft reply on this?
