HC Deb 25 July 1968 vol 769 c153W
13. Mr. Costain

asked the Postmaster-General if he is aware that registered letters delivered to buildings in multiple occupation have been signed for by persons other than the addressee and the contents stolen; and what safeguards he proposes to introduce to prevent this fraudulent practice.

Mr. Joseph Slater

Yes. We undertake to deliver a postal packet at the premises to which it is addressed. The introduction of further safeguards would not be practicable.
