§ MR. BRIGHT (Shropshire, Oswestry)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether any changes in the rules relating to military prisons have recently been made with the view to improve the condition of military prisoners; and, if so, what are those changes.
§ MR. ARNOLD-FORSTERNo change has been recommended by the Inspector of Military Prisons and none has been made. There are, however, certain points with regard to prison discipline which are under consideration, with a view to possible amendment.
§ MR. BRIGHTWill the right hon. Gentleman at the same time take into consideration the question of corporal punishment?
§ MR. ARNOLD-FORSTERThat is one of the questions under consideration.
