Part of the debate – in the House of Lords at 2:01 pm on 16th March 2023.

As I alluded to the right reverend Prelate, we must also contextualise our approach and make it clear that the extreme nature of this is against our principles—indeed, if they are to exercise the death penalty, we must define what the nature of it should be.
