| Administrative / biographical background: |
The establishment of a functional Board for the Post Office was first recommended in the Bridgeman Report of 1932, and the Post Office Board was subsequently established with eleven members, including all the General Directorate and Directors. Although the Bridgeman Committee had envisaged the Board as a controlling body, in time it became more of a reviewing body and, due to its increasing size and the consequent difficulty of assembling members, its meetings became less frequent. In November 1964, the Board was reconstituted with the following members: Postmaster General, Assistant Postmaster General, Director General and the General Directorate, with Directors invited to attend as appropriate. |
