asked the Postmaster-General the number of legal actions in which the Post Office Savings Bank has been involved, either as plaintiff or defendant, during each of the last five years?

Sir K. WOOD

As the reply contains a number of figures, I will, with the hon. Member's permission, circulate it in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

Following is the reply:

During the last five years the numbers of prosecutions initiated either by the Postmaster-General or by the Police and others in connection with the Post Office Savings Bank are as follow:

— Prosecution by Total.
Postmaster-General. Police and others.
1927 … 39 22 61

1929 … 61 22 83
1930 … 41 23 64
1931 … 72 31 103

In no instance did the Post Office Savings Bank appear as defendant.
