§ 30. Mr. DAYasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether the Government propose to take any action following the report of the Select Committee on Capital Punishment; is any amendment of the law in that connection contemplated; and will he give the House particulars?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Sir John Simon)I would refer to the reply which I gave to a question on this subject by the hon. Member for Wolverhampton East (Mr. Mander) on 19th December last.
§ Mr. DAYIn view of the fact that the report was issued by the Select Committee in 1930, is it not high time that some action was taken?
