HC Deb 12 May 1919 vol 115 c1371W
Brigadier-General WIGAN

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that a considerable number of thefts of Government property have taken place at Didcot stores; and what steps are being taken in the matter?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I am informed that a few petty thefts have taken place at the Ordnance Depot at Didcot, but that up to the present it has been impossible to obtain a conviction. Everything possible is done to prevent thefts by policing during the day and guarding during the night.
