HC Deb 18 March 1935 vol 299 cc810-1
31. Lieut.-Colonel SANDEMAN ALLEN

asked the Postmaster-General whether he is prepared to exercise his power to withhold the facilities of the cash-on-delivery service from traders who are found to be misusing it?

Sir K. WOOD

I am considering what action can properly be taken, and I will write to my hon. and gallant Friend. I should like to emphasise, however, that any recipient of a cash-on-delivery packet who thinks he has been defrauded should report the matter to the police, and the Post Office will then give any necessary assistance with a view to a prosecution.
