Post Office Closures And The Lancashire Evening Post (EDM1133)

Post Office Closures And The Lancashire Evening Post

EDM number 1133 in 2003-04, proposed by Lindsay Hoyle on 05/05/2004.

That this House congratulates the Lancashire Evening Post in its campaign to save post offices from closure throughout Lancashire and recognises that the Lancashire Evening Post has received thousands of responses from its readers supporting the campaign; raises concern that Royal Mail are providing financial incentives to sub-postmasters to leave, thereby allowing the Royal Mail to close post offices leaving local users with no service; and calls on the Royal Mail to be open and transparent in making a business case for closure ensuring that all interested parties are consulted and provided with all the facts in relation to profitability and use of individual branches before any decision to close is taken.

This motion has been signed by a total of 32 MPs.
