Crown Post Offices

EDM number 1853 in 2003-04, proposed by Geraldine Smith on 01/11/2004.

That this House is alarmed by reports that the Post Office is planning to close or sell up to half of its high street Crown post offices; notes that this would leave hundreds of thousands of people without easy access to basic postal services and would cause the loss of jobs for highly trained postal workers; further notes that the Post Office would appear to be asset stripping in an attempt to raise profits; and calls on the Government to intervene and do all in its power to prevent the unacceptable loss of service to the public.

This motion has been signed by a total of 101 MPs.
