HC Deb 16 January 1945 vol 407 c60W
Mr. Thorne

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he can give any information in connection with the 140 sacks of sugar, weighing seven tons, which were stolen from a motor-car in Streatham on 6th January; and if anyone has been arrested in connection with the matter.

Mr. H. Morrison

A 4-ton lorry, loaded with 140 hundredweight sacks of sugar, was stolen from a cinema car park in Streatham during the night of 5th-6th January. The lorry was found abandoned at Tooting on the morning of 6th January. The sacks of sugar were no longer on the lorry. Inquiries are proceeding, but no trace of the missing sugar has yet been found and no arrest has been made.
