This inquiry has been carried out by inspectors of my Department. From their report, I am satisfied that, while the accounts given in certain newspapers of the happenings in question were exaggerated, disciplinary action was taken in regard to some of the pupils which was not in accord with official regulations. I am taking steps to ensure that there will be no recurrence of any such action.
