Rejected petition Oppose the Restoration of capital punishment

More details

We petition the government to make clear that it will not support any measures that would lead to the restoration of capital punishment. That the Ministry of Justice should not waste tax payers funds on a review of the current legislation and treaties and the government should make clear that this issue will not be debated in the lifetime of this parliament.
