§ Mr. Lewisasked the Prime Minister whether he will move to appoint a Select Committee to consider the advisability or otherwise of the abolition of the death penalty and to advise accordingly.
§ The Prime MinisterNo. I do not think that this problem is one on which a Select Committee could throw any further light. A great deal of material on the subject has been assembled and it is now a matter of forming a judgment on the basis of that material.
