Royal Mail Group Profits And Post Office Closures (EDM609)

Royal Mail Group Profits And Post Office Closures

EDM number 609 in 2008-09, proposed by John Leech on 28/01/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Postal services.

That this House welcomes the news that all four businesses of the Royal Mail Group are in profit despite the ongoing recession; notes that the Royal Mail Group has made a year-to-date profit of Â£255 million; is aware that the Royal Mail Group is on track to deliver full year profits of nearly double 2007-08 performance; and calls on the Royal Mail Group to end post office closures which will devastate communities across Britain given the new-found profitability of the post office network.

This motion has been signed by a total of 42 MPs.
