HL Deb 01 November 1983 vol 444 cc551-2WA
Lord Jenkins of Putney

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will ask the Malaysian Government for what crimes four more persons have been sentenced to death under procedures condemned by the International Council of Jurists and the Malaysian Bar Council and whether they will in these circumstances request the Malaysian Government not to carry out these sentences.

Baroness Young

We have received no reports of death sentences of the type described. If the noble Lord would provide more details we will look into this matter.
