Mr. De la Bèreasked the Postmaster-General whether in view of the surplus disclosed by the financial statement in excess 242W of the£12,500,000 a year provided for in the Bridgman Committee Report, he will now state whether it is the Government's intention in future to adhere to the Bridgman Committee Report.
§ Mr. Wilfred PalingUnder Section 63 of the Finance Act, 1940, the enactments relating to the Post Office Fund cease to have effect until Parliament otherwise determines. I do not think that it is desirable to resume these arrangements until the revenues and expenditure of the Post Office have become more stable.
