HC Deb 22 June 1931 vol 254 c58W
Mr. McGOVERN

asked the Postmaster-General the number of postal workers who have been convicted for theft of postal packets from 1st May, 1928, to 1st May, 1931, and the average wages of these persons?

Mr. ATTLEE

585 postal workers were convicted for theft of postal packets during the period in question. I regret that it would not be possible to give the average wage as desired by my hon. Friend, without elaborate inquiry.
