HC Deb 25 November 1993 vol 233 c154W
23. Mr. David Evans

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what plans he has to reintroduce capital punishment for the murder of a policeman.

Mr. Maclean

We have no such plans. Matters relating to capital punishment are traditionally decided by a free vote in Parliament with Members voting in accordance with their own judgment of the issues involved.
