Proceeding contribution from Eilidh Whiteford (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 12 January 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Postal Services Bill.
Postal Services Bill
On the point about supermarkets, one key issue coming out of the Scottish Affairs Committee's report was that the post office network is, in fact, a far better network than any supermarket chain in the UK as a whole. There are huge swathes of Scotland that have no supermarket and no supermarket chain, so this would not be a workable solution for large parts of the landmass.
