BRITISH POST OFFICE
NEW ADMINISTRATION SCHEME.
DEFINITE SUM FOR EXCHEQUER.
British Official Wireless. Rugby, March 5.
Sir Ernest Bennett, Assistant-Post, master General, referring at Rugby to changes taking place in the administrative machinery of the post office, said that at the end of the month it would enter on a new stage of its financial development in accordance with the recommendations of the Bridgeman committee. Hitherto the revenue earned by the Post Office had been handed over to the Exchequer. In future a definite sum of £10,750,000 would be contributed to the national revenue, and any surplus would be retained by the Post Office and expended for the benefit of the public generally on the development of services or the reduction of charges. The scheme was experimental, but had every prospect of proving an outstanding success.
