HC Deb 08 December 1965 vol 722 cc100-1W
75. Mr. Freeson

asked the Postmaster-General how many unstamped postal packets have been received in the Members' Post Office of the Palace of Westminster bearing the address of the African Manganese Company Limited of 103 Mount Street, London, W.1; and what action he is taking in the matter.

Mr. Benn

About 90. The company disclaims any responsibility for sending the packets; the leaflets which they contained bear the name and address of a political organisation, but they also deny having sent the packets. There is reason to think that the envelopes in question were stolen from the company and I understand that the matter has been referred to the police.
