Proceeding contribution from Mike Weir (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 19 March 2008. It occurred during Opposition day on Post Office Closures.
Post Office Closures
I thank the hon. Gentleman for giving way. As a member of the BERR Committee, I should point out that we said that we reluctantly accepted that there would have to be some closures, but not necessarily those planned by the Government. In both our original report and the recent follow-up to it, we have questioned where the figure of 2,600 closures came from, and asked why that round figure was chosen.
