Proceeding contribution from David Drew (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 17 May 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Post Office Review.


Post Office Review

This remains a bitter pill for some of us to swallow, in particular the potential conflation of the rural subsidy into the social network—but may I urge my right hon. Friend to support the Sustainable Communities Bill? It is good to see the Government taking this private Member’s measure through. Does my right hon. Friend now see the benefits of getting the Post Office to engage with local communities to see whether there are social answers to running these services, rather than pretending that the Post Office has all the answers?
