HC Deb 26 June 1916 vol 83 cc546-7W
Mr. OUTHWAITE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether, under the French Military Code, soldiers can be subjected to any punishment of the nature of Field Punishment No. 1, commonly known as "crucifixion"?

Mr. TENNANT

I am not aware whether under the French Military Code there is any punishment similar to the nature of Field Punishment No. 1. The expression "crucifixion" is one not known to military law, and is one which I have not heard except in questions put by hon. Members.
