Shoot-to-kill Policy (Hansard, 21 March 1994)

HC Deb 21 March 1994 vol 240 c4W 4W

§ Mr. Winnick
To ask the Prime Minister what is Her Majesty's Government's policy towards a shoot-to-kill policy arising from terrorism; and if he will make a statement.

§ The Prime Minister
[holding answer 18 March 1994]: We have no such policy. What is normally implied by a "shoot-to-kill" policy would not be consistent with section 3 of the Criminal Law Act 1967 or section 3 of the Criminal Law (Northern Ireland) Act 1967.
