Proceeding contribution from Mark Hunter (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 17 May 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Post Office Review.
Post Office Review
Following the announcement today that the Government intend to close a further 2,500 post offices in addition to the 4,000 that have already closed, does the Secretary of State understand the great concern and depth of feeling throughout the country about this catastrophic proposal? Furthermore, does he not recognise that the difficulties faced by the post office network have in large part come about as a direct result of this Government’s policies, in particular taking business away, such as in the form of TV licences, passports, driving licences and the card account? Does he not accept the relationship between cause and effect?
