HC Deb 03 July 1930 vol 240 c2146
71. Colonel HOWARD-BURY

asked the Postmaster-General whether he is yet in a position to state what are the costs that he has incurred in his case against Mr. Larcombe, or when he will be in a position to do so?

Mr. VIANT

The costs incurred by the Post Office amounted to approximately £130.

Colonel HOWARD-BURY

Seeing that the Post Office have withdrawn their claim, which was only for £100, has there not been an utterly unnecessary waste of the taxpayers' money?
