HC Deb 08 April 1902 vol 105 c1253
MR. SWIFT MACNEILL

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether, having regard to the fact that the punishment of shot drill has been abolished in the Army since April, 1899, he has any, and, if so, what, explanation to give of the fact that shot drill has been inflicted on prisoners in the military cells at Lichfield up till the 17th February last.

MR. BRODRICK

I have nothing to add to my previous answer on this subject.

MR. SWIFT MACNEILL

But has this form of punishment in the Army been abolished?

[No answer was returned.]
