HC Deb 23 October 1912 vol 42 cc2212-3W
Mr. BRIDGEMAN

asked the Postmaster-General how many home safes have been purchased by the Post Office; and how many have been taken up by the public?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

The number of home safes purchased by the Post Office is 200,000. Of this number, 125,000 have been supplied to post offices throughout the country; and up to the present time 40,000 safes have been issued to the public. I propose shortly to take steps to advertise the home safes more widely.
