The bill now before Parliament is unlikely to become law during the current session. It will go before a par- liamentary committee to hear ev- idence from the lega' commun- ity. As a result it will probably not come to a vote until next year. The present bill retains the death penalty for treason and pi- racy, but fixes a mandatory pen- alty of Mfe imprisonment for murder, It adopts the doctrine of diminished responsibility in mur- der cases where the offender, while not insane, is proved to have been suffering from a de- fect, disorder or infirmity of mind to such an exteni as not to be held fully responsible. It is likely that some National members will press for retention of the death penalty for some classes of murder. In that case the result would be likely to depend on whether members of both parties were al- lowed a free vote.
