HC Deb 03 February 1966 vol 723 c273W
Mr. Rose

asked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations what steps he is taking to protect the life of Mr. Lazarus, a Rhodesian citizen reprieved by Her Maesty the Queen.

Mr. Bottomley

Steps have been taken to ensure that all those concerned know of the commutation by Her Majesty the Queen of the sentence on Mr. Lazarus. Should anyone harm Mr. Lazarus in defiance of this, he would be acting without legal authority and would have to accept liability for the consequence of his action.
