§ Dr. HASTINGSasked the Home Secretary in how many cases, if any, during the last five years the administration of punishment by the eat has taken place in two or more stages?
§ Mr. CLYNESIn no case within the memory of present officers of the prison service has the administration of corporal punishment taken place in two or more stages. If the medical officer stops a flogging on medical grounds, that is final, and the flogging is never resumed at a later date.
