00:00Every week we hear of a brutal murder, rape or stabbing, far too often perpetrated by someone who should not be in our country to begin with.
00:09Does the Prime Minister agree that for cases where the guilt is so undeniable, the crime so monstrous, the evil so irredeemable,
00:18the reintroduction of the death penalty for both foreign and domestic criminals should be put to the British people in a legally binding referendum?
00:30Can I first say that any attack is to be condemned, and it is absolutely right.
00:40We are determined that there is a criminal justice response in relation to attack, however it is carried out, and whoever it is carried out by.
00:49But reintroducing the death penalty is not the answer to this.
00:53It did not work when it was in place.
00:57It led to the death of those that in fact turned out were innocent.
01:01But what we must do is improve, as we are, the criminal justice response in this country.
