§ 58. Mr. Rileyasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will look into the existing regulations prescribing corporal punishment for native troops under colonial Governments so as to remove all discrimination in the forms of punishment for the same offences as between native and British troops.
§ Colonel StanleyI have the whole question already under review in consultation with my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for War.
§ Mr. RileyDoes the right hon. and gallant Gentleman admit that at present there is discrimination in the treatment of offences as between native and British troops? Is it not the declared policy of this country that no discrimination should apply?
§ Colonel StanleyThat Question has been addressed to and answered by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for War several times already.
