Call to bring back death penalty
An MP has asked for the ‘potential merits’ of the death penalty to be reconsidered by UK Parliament as he calls for it to be reintroduced. Former minister John Hayes used written parliamentary questions to say capital punishment ‘should be available to the courts’ - despite it being outlawed in 1965.
Mr. Hayes, who represents South Holland and Deepings in Lincolnshire, used the case of Westminster killer Khalid Masood to illustrate his point.
