§ Mr. BYLESasked the President of the Board of Education if he will furnish the hon. Member for North Salford with a copy of the regulations of the Board in respect to the flogging of children in the elementary schools?
§ Mr. RUNCIMANSchedule IV. 1 (e) of the code provides that every public elemen- 1814W tary school must have a punishment book in which all cases of corporal punishment must be recorded. The Board do not issue any other regulations on this subject, but I may refer my hon.
