HC Deb 23 June 1921 vol 143 c1568W
Mr. NEWBOULD

asked the Chief Secretary whether, in view of the many statements that have been made that floggings of prisoners and others have been carried out by members of the Crown forces he will state how many members of the forces have up to the present been convicted or arrested for such floggings?

Mr. HENRY

One case of alleged maltreatment of prisoners is at present under inquiry. There have been no other arrests or convictions, but if the hon. Member will furnish me with particulars of the cases he has in mind, distinguishing definite charges from vague allegations, I will have inquiries made.
