Mr. Flook: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what (1) assessment the Post Office has made of (a) Tesco's
decision to close a number of post offices and (b) the impact it will have on the Network Re-invention proposals in
(a) England and (b) Somerset; [161901]
(2) what discussions the Post Office has had with Tesco plc on their policy of closure of post offices in stores formerly run by T &
S Stores plc. [161904]
Mr. Timms: [holding answers 16 March 2004]: Discussions have been held between Post Office Ltd. and Tesco to determine what
future plans Tesco has for its estate of stores containing post offices. Tesco is undertaking a site-by-site review, and in a
minority of locations where they establish a Tesco Express format and the site is not consequently large enough also to operate a
Post Office branch, they may wish to terminate the Post Office contract for the site in question.
In its review, Tesco is committed to working closely with Post Office Ltd. and regular discussions are held.
The removal of a post office branch from a Tesco owned store is not a permanent closure and Post Office Ltd. has given assurances
that, where there remains a need for post office provision, it will look to relocate, in the same vicinity, offices that Tesco want
to remove from its stores. Post Office Ltd. will consider whether to relocate or permanently close those offices on an individual
basis.
Any proposals for the permanent removal of post office provision can only be made by Post Office Ltd. in the context of a lack of
viability, and requires a period of public consultation as agreed between Post Office Ltd. and the consumer body Postwatch before a
decision is reached. At the end of its current programme to restructure the urban post office network, Post Office Ltd. will ensure
that there will be a post office within a mile of at least 95 per cent. of the urban population nationally

Mr. Flook: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry (1) how many former T & S Stores plc post offices have been closed
by Tesco since it took over T & S Stores plc; [161902]
(2) how many post offices there were in T & S Stores plc before takeover by Tesco plc. [161903]
Mr. Flook: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many post offices that Tesco announced would be closed since it
took over T&S Stores have since been reprieved by Tesco. [161862]
Mr. Timms: [holding answers 16 March 2004]: Tesco acquired the T&S Group chain of convenience stores in October 2002 when in
total 318 T&S stores trading under the `One Stop' and `Billons' contained Post Office branches.
In taking over T&S, Tesco took over the Post Office contracts for the individual sites and has since been reviewing how many of
these Post Offices will be retained. Tesco has committed to giving six months notice of its intention to terminate any contract,
allowing Post Office Ltd. sufficient opportunity to find alternative partners to continue to offer post office services in close
proximity to the existing location, and to working with all parties to seek a smooth changeover process for customers in the area
where there remains a need for post office provision.
As Post Office Ltd. has operational responsibility for the post office network, only it can propose permanent closure of a post
office branch. I understand from the company that, to date, Tesco has given notice of its decision to terminate the post office
contract in respect of 38 locations. In all cases the period of notice for withdrawing from the contract is still running and no
closures have yet taken place. Any reversal of such a decision would be a commercial and operational matter for Tesco and Post
Office Ltd.

Mr. Stinchcombe: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry (1) if she will recommend to the Office of Fair Trading that
it judges the Tesco Adminstore merger on the basis of Tesco's share of the overall grocery market; [160460]
(2) if she will direct the Office of Fair Trading to refer Tesco's proposed acquisition of Adminstore to the Competition Commission
on the grounds of public interest considerations of the socio-economic consequences of further consolidation of the grocery market;
[160461]
(3) if she will recommend that the Office of Fair Trading refer Tesco's proposed acquisition of Adminstore to the Competition
Commission. [160462]
Mr. Sutcliffe: The independent competition authorities (the Office of Fair Trading and the Competition Commission) are responsible
under the Enterprise Act 2002 for decision-making in merger cases against a specific competition-focussed test. The Office of Fair
Trading announced on 5 March that it was not referring to the Competition Commission the anticipated acquisition by Tesco Plc
of 45 grocery stores from Adminstore Ltd. It would not have been appropriate for Ministers to try to influence the Office of Fair
Trading in carrying out its independent function by seeking to direct it in any aspect of its consideration of this case.
The Enterprise Act does not allow my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State to intervene on existing or new public interest
grounds in cases where the OFT has already announced its decision on reference to the Competition Commission.

Mr. Wyatt: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what measures she can introduce to stop Tesco closing post offices
as a result of the takeover of one-stop convenience stores, with particular reference to the one-stop convenience store in Chalkwell
Road, Sittingbourne. [159793]
Mr. Timms: [holding answer 8 March 2004]: None. Any decision by Tesco to remove a post office from one of its T&S convenience
stores is a commercial matter for the company. Tesco has however committed to giving six months notice of its intention to do so to
Post Office Ltd., allowing it the opportunity to find alternative partners to continue to offer post office services in close
proximity to the existing location, and to working with all parties to seek a smooth changeover process for customers in the area.
I understand that Tesco has recently given notice of its intention to discontinue post office services from its Chalkwell Road,
Sittingbourne store and that Post Office Ltd. is now actively engaged in seeking an alternative location in the vicinity.
