Future Of Post Office Card Accounts

EDM number 1791 in 2007-08, proposed by Lindsay Hoyle on 16/06/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Financial services and Postal services.

That this House urges the Government to recognise the warning from the National Federation of Sub-Postmasters that up to 3,000 more post offices could be forced to close if the Post Office network loses the card account contract; notes with concern that the loss of the account reduces options for the poorest in society and risks creating financial exclusion; recognises the social impact the reduced options could have on millions of constituents; observes the £200 million revenue a year that Post Office card accounts generate for the network; and proposes that the Government demonstrates commitment to the network by awarding Post Office Ltd the new contract.

This motion has been signed by a total of 89 MPs, 2 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
