HL Deb 15 June 1945 vol 136 c648WA
LORD MAMHEAD

asked His Majesty's Government whether they will undertake to give no sanction to the execution of boys and girls of sixteen years and under who may be convicted as spies in any territory under their jurisdiction.

LORD CROFT

The question raises an issue of policy on which I regret I am unable to give a definite reply in the time available.
