Post Office Closures And Consultation (EDM1323)

Post Office Closures And Consultation

EDM number 1323 in 2007-08, proposed by John Pugh on 02/04/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Postal services and Service industries.

That this House is aware of the policy of Post Office Counters to close 2,500 post offices and that branches are apparently chosen by reference to published criteria; records that all but a tiny number of consultations result in closure leaving the public and respondents viewing the process as cosmetic and futile; notes that the Select Committee for Business and Enterprise was unable to identify whether national criteria were being adhered to in local closure plans; and calls on the National Audit Office to conduct a full review of the process.

This motion has been signed by a total of 47 MPs.
