HC Deb 17 June 1941 vol 372 cc498-9W
Mr. Jackson

asked the Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been drawn to the serious losses of equipment and stores which have taken place in a certain military camp in Herefordshire, which culminated in the prosecution and conviction of, approximately, 14 people for receiving these goods; is he aware that great uneasiness is felt in the district through the knowledge that between £200 and £300 worth of stores can be appropriated from such a small camp over a considerable period of time without being discovered; and is he satisfied that a system of accounting and checking, which allows this state of affairs to happen, is a satisfactory one?

Captain Margesson

I have no information about the case to which my hon.-Friend refers, but I am having inquiries made and will communicate with my hon. Friend as soon as possible.
