Business question from Graham Stuart (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 2 March 2006. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
My constituents are extremely concerned about the news, which the shadow Leader of the House has mentioned, that 10,000 more post offices around the country may be closed. Post offices are particularly important to people in isolated rural communities, and it is the old, those who do not have transport and the poorest members of our society who most depend on their services. Those people are concerned that the Government are not committed to rural post offices because of the withdrawal of the Post Office card account. The Leader of the House has said that the Government are committed to rural post offices, but can we have a debate as soon as possible?
