HC Deb 14 December 1966 vol 738 cc90-1W
Dr. Bennett

asked the Secretary of State for Defence which British field post offices were the addressees of the batches of parcels recently stolen; in particular, whether British Field Post Offices 53 and 56 were involved; and whether the losses included scheduled Christmas parcel mail.

Mr. Ennals

The parcels were stolen before arrival for sorting at the Postal Depot at Mill Hill, and I regret therefore that it is not possible to say which addresses were involved. Since, however, they were stolen after the latest dates for posting for British Forces Post Offices 53 and 56, it is unlikely that parcels to those destinations were lost.
