HC Deb 04 March 1929 vol 226 c10
21. Miss LAWRENCE

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether any recent Regulations have been introduced in Palestine on the subject of corporal punishment in prison; and, if so, whether he will place a copy in the Library?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for the COLONIES (Mr. Ormsby-Gore)

New Regulations were made in December last which have the effect of reducing the number of prison offences for which corporal punishment may be awarded. I will place a copy in the Library.
