Lord Greaves

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they have any plans to repeal the Treason Felony Act 1848. [HL173]

The Minister of State, Home Office (Lord Rooker)

The Treason Felony Act 1848, like several other laws, has been on the statute book for a considerable time. We keep the need to reform this and other criminal legislation under review. We have no plans at present to repeal this Act.
