§ 18. Mr. CECIL WILSONasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether power has been conferred upon administrative officials in Tanganyika mandated territory to inflict up to 10 strokes of the whip for the contravention of any order or direction of the official himself; and whether the power to inflict this punishment may be exercised without submitting the offender to any trial?
§ Mr. AMERYI have not been able to find any legislative enactment or executive instruction under which an administrative officer is allowed to inflict the punishment of whipping in circumstances such as those indicated by the hon. Member.
