§ Brigadier-General SPEARSasked the Home Secretary whether he will direct that the prisoner, Douglas Carnby, aged 18, sentenced to 18 strokes of the cat, shall be examined by a psychological specialist before the sentence is carried out?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANEvery prisoner sentenced to be flogged is examined by the medical officer of the prison before the flogging is administered, and I see no advantage in calling in any outside "expert" for the purpose.
