Dept of Trade and Industry

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry, what plans he has to publicise the range of services available at the Post Office. - Includes figure.

Answer: Mr. Coaker: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what plans he has to publicise the range of services available at the Post Office. [144537] Mr. Alan Johnson: Publicity and advertising of the range of services available are operational matters for the Post Office. I understand that, in addition to in-store advertising of Post Office products and services often supported by local press and radio campaigns and promotional incentives, a new website carrying a comprehensive guide to all products and services available from the Post Office is to be launched later this month. This website will be advertised as part of the credits for the television travel programme "Wish You Were Here", which the Post Office is sponsoring for six months with the particular objective of advertising and promoting the travel insurance, foreign currency and travellers cheques services available either on demand or by order through all post offices.
