§ 8. Lieut.-Colonel Liptonasked the Assistant Postmaster-General the numbers employed in the Investigation Department of the Post Office in May, 1952, and at present.
§ Mr. Gammans205 and 207, respectively.
§ Lieut.-Colonel LiptonThe Postmaster-General having admitted the other day that the present security arrangements in the Post Office are inadequate, does not this answer reveal a somewhat niggardly appreciation of the need to improve security arrangements in the Post Office?
§ Mr. GammansMy noble Friend merely pointed out that, if we were to expect gang robberies with violence in the streets of London, then the previous arrangements are inadequate.
§ Lieut.-Colonel LiptonDoes this small increase represent the maximum that the Post Office will do as far as the Investigation Departments is concerned?
§ Mr. GammansNo, Sir.
