§ Mr. G. Thomasasked the Postmaster-General whether he will make a statement concerning the empty mail bags discovered recently in Cardiff, Magor, and in Minets Wood, Rogiet, respectively.
§ Mr. BevinsOn 31st October a mail bag was found on the railway line between Severn Tunnel Junction and Magor. As well as unregistered packets two registered letters were in the bag. Five registered letters were missing. On the next day four mail bags were found in an enclosed private yard at Maindy, Cardiff. In this instance two of three registered letters enclosed in the bags had had their contents removed; the other was intact. Claims so far received in respect of all but one of the registered letters total £98 14s. 6d. The offenders have not so far been traced. The remaining bag was found empty on the 14th December: nothing has been found to connect this with any theft of mail. Police enquiries continue.
