HC Deb 04 October 1909 vol 11 c1813W
Mr. BYLES

asked the President of the Board of Education whether the headmaster of the National school, Ashford, who was recently fined £5 for flogging a child of ten with great and unreasonable severity, has been dismissed; and, if not, whether the Board of Education will insist on his dismissal?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

I beg to refer my hon. Friend to the answer I gave on this subject to the hon. Member for Peterborough (Mr. G. Greenwood) on 29th September.
