HC Deb 07 July 1959 vol 608 cc105-6W
Mr. G. Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is now prepared to place in the Library of the House a photostatic copy of the page in the Aguthi detention camp punishment book dealing with the birching of the detainee who wrote to the hon. Member for Blackburn.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd
