§ Mr. KirkwoodTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps he is taking to review the use of the death penalty in those circumstances where it is still legally available as a sentence in the United Kingdom.
§ Mr. Jack[holding answer 18 May 1992]: None. A review of the law of treason remains on the agenda of the Law Commission, in the context of its work on the codification of the criminal law, but such a review has to take its place among the commission's other priorities.
