HC Deb 27 November 1946 vol 430 c318W
100. Mr. W. Adams

asked the Assistant Postmaster-General whether, in view of the increasing number of cases of fraud upon the Post Office Savings Bank, which have to be made good by the Treasury, any active steps are being taken to minimise the chances of success of such fraudulent operations.

Mr. Burke

The position is constantly under review; and some further measures are at present under consideration. The hon. Member will appreciate that it would not be in the public interest to publish all the details. The problem is to devise methods which will not impose undue restrictions on the millions of honest depositors in order to check the depredations of the dishonest few.
