§ 152. Lieut.-Colonel Liptonasked the Secretary of State for War how many men received corporal punishment, contrary to Queen's Regulations, in the course of training during the past year at the Guards Depot, Caterham.
§ Mr. HeadCorporal punishment at the Guards Depot is strictly forbidden. A light-hearted incident took place in one of the squads which was not in any way interpreted as corporal punishment by those concerned. The cadets treated the matter as a joke and none of them considered that they had been given corporal punishment as such. The General Officer Commanding London District has taken steps to see that no repetition of this kind of incident takes place.
