DEPENDENT TERRITORIES: CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

Following our telephone conversations on this, I write to confirm that the Lord President will chair a meeting at 5 pm on Thursday 14 February in his room in the House of Commons (Room 4). In addition to the Foreign Secretary and Mr Lennox-Boyd, those attending will be the Home Secretary, the Lord Privy Seal, The Chief Whip (Commons) and the Chief Whip (Lords).

Earlier papers conclude with Charles Powell's letter to me of 17 December. You indicated that you would be circulating a further note, as a basis for discussion at our meeting.

I am copying this letter to Charles Powell, Colin Walters, Gillian Kirton, Murdo Maclean, Douglas Slater and Martin Hatfull, and to Sonia Phippard, Bill Reeves and Muir Russell in the Cabinet Office and Geoffrey de Deney in the Privy Council Office.
