§ Mr. Raphael Tuckasked the Postmaster-General how many anti-bandit screens are now installed in sub-post offices; whether he is satisfied that they are proving effective; and whether he will take steps to make anti-bandit screens obligatory in sub-post offices.
§ Mr. Joseph SlaterExperimental anti-bandit screens have been in use in seven sub-post offices over two years. These offices have not been attacked during this period and one of the screens is being used as the pattern for the screens now being made available for all sub-post offices. Existing Sub-Postmasters will not be obliged to instal an anti-bandit screen, but newly appointed Sub-Postmasters in crime prone areas will have to instal counter protection as a condition of appointment.
