HC Deb 22 February 1944 vol 397 c637
21. Mr. Quintin Hoģģ

asked the Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been drawn to the continued pilfering of parcels despatched to the Forces overseas; and what steps are being taken to deal with it.

Sir J. Griģģ

The question of pilfering is receiving very close attention in the War Department and if the hon. Member will send me particulars of any cases which have been brought to his notice they will be investigated.

Mr. Graham White

Would my right hon. Friend consider substituting the word "theft" for "pilfering" in all documents?
