HC Deb 15 October 1908 vol 194 cc455-6
MR. EVERETT (Suffolk, Woodbridge)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Admir-

for War whether he can state how many pairs of Army shoes have been produced in the City of Bristol and in the county of Northampton during the past five years.

(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.)—

alty what result has followed the issue of the Circular, headed "Summary Punishments—Birching and Caning," to which reference was made in the Debate on the Address on 21st February, 1906.

MR. MCKENNA

No birchings have been inflicted since the new rules came into force; the effect on the total number of canings is not known.
