§ 73. Dr. MORRIS-JONESasked the Postmaster-General whether he will consider the advisability of recommending to Parliament proposals which would ensure permanent control and direction of the Post Office apart from changes of Government.
§ The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Sir Kingsley Wood)This matter has not as yet been under consideration by the Government.
§ Dr. MORRIS-JONESHas the right hon. Gentleman's attention been drawn to the position of the Noble Lord the Member for Aldershot (Viscount Wolmer) with regard to the Post Office system, and does he not intend to take the matter into consideration?
§ Sir K. WOODYes, I have observed the statements of my Noble Friend, but, of course, the matter raises a very large question, and my hon. Friend realises that, if his suggestion were adopted, there would no longer be a Postmaster-General to reply to questions in this House.
§ Dr. MORRIS-JONESWould that not sometimes be an advantage?
