Proceeding contribution from Marquess of Lothian (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 19 March 2008. It occurred during Opposition day on Post Office Closures.


Post Office Closures

I am very grateful to my hon. Friend. He was talking about the process by which the decision about closures was made. One post office to be closed in my constituency is in an area where a significant new housing programme is about to begin. The alternative post office is already notorious for being overcrowded and incapable of being expanded. Does that not suggest that the consultation process was a farce, and that what we are seeing is a lottery in order to meet a Government target?
