§ MR. J. A. PEASE (Northumberland, Tyneside)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State of War whether the rules in regard to flogging for offences committed in military prisons have been modified; and if so, to what extent since the rules were amended in 1898 in regard to flogging for offences committed in civil prisons.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe military rules were amended by Army Order 156, of November, 1898, and brought in accordance with the Prison Act, 1898, Section 5. There has been no further Amendment. The new rules were presented to the House on the 8th February, 1899.
