HC Deb 07 May 1953 vol 515 c33W
1. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he is yet in a position to state when the Royal Commission on Capital Punishment will make either an interim or final report.

Sir D. Maxwell Fyfe

I understand that the Royal Commission is not proposing to submit an interim report. As regards the final report, I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which was given on 16th April to a Question by my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Norfolk, Central (Brigadier Medlicott).
