HC Deb 23 November 1955 vol 546 c128W
106. Mr. G. Jeger

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty in how many cases during the past three years boys serving in the Royal Navy have decided not to continue their service after being punished by caning.

Commander Noble

There are no records available which would enable me to state the number of boys who apply for discharge after being punished by caning; there is, however, no evidence to suggest that applications for discharge are either more or less numerous, in proportion, from boys who have been so punished than from others.
