HC Deb 20 July 1955 vol 544 cc46-7W
73. Mr. John Hall

asked the Postmaster-General how many cases of forgery in the use of postal franking machines have been discovered since January, 1946, up to the latest convenient date; and what loss of revenue has been involved.

Dr. Hill

No forgeries have been discovered, and we have no reason to suspect that there have been any.

Mr. John Hall

asked the Postmaster-General what method his Department use to detect a forgery in the use of postal franking machines.

Dr. Hill

All meter-franked mail has to be handed in separately from other mail at specified post offices, where checks are made.
