33. Lieut.-Colonel Lipton

asked the Secretary of State for War whether the same regulations regarding work before breakfast, drills at the double and time of reveille now operate in all military detention barracks in this country.

The Secretary of State for War (Mr. Shinwell)

Yes. The two military prisons and detention barracks in this country are governed by the same rules.

Lieut.-Colonel Lipton

Does that mean that drill at the double as a form of punishment is now forbidden?

Mr. Shinwell

Drill at the double is not a form of punishment under these instructions.
