Government Proposals For The Postal Service (EDM155)

Government Proposals For The Postal Service

EDM number 155 in 1999-00, proposed by Elfyn Llwyd on 07/12/1999.

That this House is extremely concerned about the inevitable closure of post offices throughout Britain due to the Government's proposed reforms to the postal service; notes that the implementation of the Automated Credit Transfer system of paying benefits scheduled for 2003 will put the existence of thousands of post offices at risk, and that the proposed reforms show a total disregard for a fundamental service that lies at the heart of communities, pushing elderly and disadvantaged people further to the margins of society; and calls upon the Government to reconsider these damaging and ill-thought proposals.

This motion has been signed by a total of 28 MPs.
