§ Mr. Cartwrightasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many British citizens are known to have faced the death penalty in the United States of America during the past three years; and what representations he has made to the appropriate United States authorities in each case.
§ Mr. RifkindNo mono-British citizen has been sentenced to death in the United States of America in the past three years. In the case of one British citizen convicted of murder, the jury recommended, and the judge imposed, a sentence of life imprisonment instead of the death penalty. No representations were made to the United States authorities.
