Editorial comments:	Available on CD-ROM only. 1000 local time. MT took questions after the speech. Like the The Sun, The Times 17 September 1976 reported her remarks on terrorism - that she would "get tough with terrorism" if she became Prime Minister and that she would like to see the death penalty reintroduced for terrorist offences. She emphasised that she was expressing a personal view rather than party policy. "As far as I am concerned I would make the death penalty available as one possible punishment for acts of terrorism resulting in death". We attempted to trace Anne Morrow in order to clear permission to reproduce this article but were unable to do so.
