HC Deb 05 November 1959 vol 612 c66W
Mr. Iremonger

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department to what extent he has given consideration, in the light of his judgment of the present state of public opinion, to the introduction of further legislation to extend or limit the penalties for homicide and treason.

Mr. R. A. Butler

I am keeping the operation of the Homicide Act, 1957, under review, but I have at present no proposals for further legislation in this field.
