Post-war Politics
Hulbert remained involved in business and was Chairman of British Steel Constructions (Birmingham) Ltd in 1945; he left the board in 1949. At the 1945 general election Hulbert retained his seat by only 1,365 votes. He served on the Estimates Committee during the 1945-50 Parliament. He was loyal to the Conservative Party in Parliament, never voting against the whip; and in 1947 attacked proposals for a tax on advertising as "a hindrance rather than an aid to the recovery of this country's prosperity".

“Much of what Mr. Wallace calls his global thinking is, no matter how you slice it, still “globaloney.” Mr. Wallace’s warp of sense and his woof of nonsense is very tricky cloth out of which to cut the pattern of a post-war world.”
—Clare Boothe Luce (1903–1987)
“Writing is the continuation of politics by other means.”
—Philippe Sollers (b. 1936)
