Post Office Reform Act

The Post Office Reform Act, enacted in 1969, aimed to modernize and improve the UK's postal services. It introduced changes to increase efficiency, accountability, and financial stability by restructuring the Post Office, establishing a separate statutory corporation, and implementing new management practices. The Act also sought to better serve the public’s needs, adapt to technological advancements, and ensure the Post Office could operate more effectively as a national service provider. Overall, it was a key step in transforming the postal system into a more modern, financially responsible, and customer-focused organization.
