Abstract
WE do not know whether it was mere coincidence or good stage-management that Lord Wolmer's book on “Post Office Reform” (Ivor Nicholson and Watson, Ltd., 6s. net) was published a week before the report of the Committee of Enquiry on the Post Office (Cmd. 4149. H.M. Stationery Office, 9d. net). However this may be, no study of the findings of that Committee can avoid reference to Lord Wolmer's campaign since he ceased to hold office as Assistant Postmaster General, for it was his persistence, supported ultimately by more than three hundred members of Parliament of all parties, which led directly to the appointment, by the present Government, of Lord Bridgeman and his colleagues, Sir John Cadman and Lord Plender, as a Committee “to enquire and report as to whether any changes in the constitution, status or system of organisation of the Post Office would be in the public interest”.
