Lieut.-Colonel Lipton

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many British troops in Hong Kong and Singapore have, during 1953 and 1954, been sentenced to flogging as well as imprisonment.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

In Hong Kong six British Service men received sentences of caning in addition to imprisonment during 1953–54. In two cases the sentences of imprisonment were quashed on appeal. In Singapore there were two cases.
