Historically, the General Post Office was a government department which included the Royal Mail delivery business, represented in government by the Postmaster General, a Cabinet-level post. It became a statutory corporation in 1969. Most of the duties were passed to Consignia plc in November 2001, and the old Post Office was dissolved in 2007.
