§ 12. Lieut.-Colonel Liptonasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many persons providing accommodation addresses are registered with the Metropolitan Police for the purpose of carrying on the business of receiving and delivering postal packets.
§ Sir D. Maxwell FyfeOne hundred and eighty, Sir.
§ Lieut.-Colonel LiptonWill the Minister say what steps have been taken by the police to ensure that no unregistered persons carry on this kind of business and that only reputable persons who are registered or those in business may use them for legitimate purposes?
§ Sir D. Maxwell FyfeI shall gladly do my best to deal with any particular 540 difficulties of the hon. and gallant Gentleman, but I do not see that I can say more than that the police will keep the most severe watch on this matter.
