HC Deb 30 June 1913 vol 54 c1479
43. Mr. F. HALL

asked if under the present Navy Regulations lads are liable to be flogged; if so, what are the offences for which this punishment may be given and by whom may it be ordered; and what were the number of cases in which this punishment was inflicted in 1912?

Mr. CHURCHILL

No, Sir. Flogging has been suspended as a punishment in the Navy for over thirty years.
