HC Deb 10 June 1942 vol 380 cc1072-3W
Dr. Morgan

asked the Home Secretary whether he has had reports from the local police of the abnormal amount of petty pilfering in the North-west district of London, especially Hampstead, and particularly of air-raid precautions implements left by request of the authorities outside front doors for emergency use; and what special steps are being taken to bring the offenders and instigators to justice?

Mr. H. Morrison

No, Sir. I am informed by the Commissioner of Police that the police have no evidence of any abnormal amount of pilfering in the district referred to. If my hon. Friend will supply me with the information on which his Question is based, I will have further inquiries made.
