The NGB prefix was used by the Space, Post Office and Films Division and also by its successor in 1986 the Telecommunications and Posts Division. These were the sponsorship Divisions within the DTI for the Post Office and the National Girobank and were responsible for coordinating the Department?s policy with regard to these nationalised industries.
The Space, Post Office and Films Division was also responsible for, as its name suggests, space technology, the film industry, the Post Office and National Girobank, and international postal policy. Following a departmental reorganisation in 1986, the branch responsible for sponsorship of the Post Office and National Girobank was merged with the existing Telecommunications Division to create a new Telecommunications and Posts Division.
