Reform's new prison tsar has said she is 'more than happy' to discuss MPs thoughts on the death penalty - after Nigel Farage ruled the punishment out.
Vanessa Frake, the former head of security at HMP Wormwood Scrubs, was revealed yesterday as the party's adviser on crime.
The 62-year-old was quizzed today on her capital punishment stance - and while she denied personally backing a change in the law, Ms Frake opened the doors to a debate.
She told LBC: 'Look, I'm more than happy to discuss the death penalty…
'If you'd have asked me that question 20 years ago, I'd have said absolutely, no hesitation - I support the death penalty.
