Postal Services Bill

Does the hon. Gentleman agree that the other side of the equation, which focuses on the agreement between Royal Mail and the post offices, is the amount of business that post offices can do by other means? That revolves first around their ability to distribute financial services—access to banking and credit union arrangements—and secondly around their role as ““front of office”” providers of a series of services for customers coming from other Departments. I hope that the Minister will tell us more about that.
