"You filthy little beasts would never have dropped Stink pellets if you'd known I had it in my power to whip you raw, would you, now? Nobody would have thought of throwing Fanged Frisbees down the corridors if I could've strung you up by the ankles in my office, would they? But when Educational Decree Twenty-nine comes in, Potter, I'll be allowed to do them things..."
Argus Filch on the Decree[src]

Although never actually passed, the Educational Decree Number Twenty-Nine was going to be one of Dolores Umbridge's Educational Decrees.[1] When passed, this Decree would allow Argus Filch to physically punish the students.[1] However, Dolores Umbridge was sacked and her Educational Decrees were abolished before this came to pass. Filch was nevertheless granted Approval for Whipping.
