Let me come to the Royal Mail database because I think that the hon. Gentleman is talking about a slightly different thing from me. Delivery offices may be in different counties and so on. The postcode system was developed in the 1960s as a tool to help sort mail more...

The hon. Gentleman expresses the point extremely well. There is no excuse for us still to be discussing this issue in 2009—it should have been sorted out long ago. Another problem arises in the tourism sector. As I said, Pembrokeshire is well known for its outstanding natural beauty, and it...

The hon. Gentleman has taken us on an historical journey. Does he acknowledge that although there could have been legitimate concern and confusion at the time of the change, particularly among small businesses, some 13 years on—that is the crucial point—most of that will have dissipated? That is why it...

I am following the Minister's argument. However, surely the crucial difference with his example is that Wolverhampton still exists. The county of Dyfed does not exist in a meaningful sense at all and therefore it is entirely unhelpful to have it on the Royal Mail database.

It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr. Illsley. I congratulate the hon. Member for Preseli Pembrokeshire (Mr. Crabb) on securing the debate. He should not be too apologetic in saying that this may not be the most urgent issue. It might be fair of him to say...

The hon. Gentleman fights like a tiger for his constituency and makes his point very well. Not only Pembrokeshire is affected. Two other old counties—Carmarthenshire and Cardiganshire, which is now Ceredigion—were affected by the abolition of Dyfed and suffer because of the usage of the old county name on the...

I am grateful that I have secured this short debate on a subject that has fallen on my desk regularly in the past five years: Royal Mail's ongoing refusal to recognise the county of Pembrokeshire in its postcode address file, which is the key database that underpins the national postal...

I assure the hon. Gentleman that the concerns he is expressing on behalf of the people of Preseli Pembrokeshire are shared by my constituents north of the River Dyfi in Ceredigion. It is not north or west Dyfed, or part of north-west Dyfed, but Ceredigion. My constituents cannot believe that...

My Lords, is there a danger that if the administration of justice is reduced in rural areas, the policing may be reduced? As a result, offences may not result in conviction, giving rise to general insecurity.

My Lords, will the Minister put a little flesh on the bones? What is the problem of racial discrimination in Radnorshire? The Minister said that the problem of the court was racial discrimination, and I would like to know what the problem is in Radnorshire. I spent my honeymoon there!

My Lords, I declare an interest as an ex-chairman of a Bench, who has presided over the closure and amalgamation of courts. Would the Minister agree with me that there is greater sensitivity about the closure and amalgamation of such courts in thinly populated areas where local transport is almost non-existent? Would she further agree that inaccessible justice is often justice denied?

My Lords, I declare an interest as the former MP for Brecon and Radnorshire. Would the Minister take note of the fact that I received a petition in the House of Lords late last year, which was signed by 3,000 residents, in favour of rebuilding the court in Llandrindod Wells? It is vital that there is access to justice in the county of Radnorshire, which is the most sparsely populated area south of the Highland line. The county of Powys is 132 miles long, and access is extremely difficult. I hope that she and her noble and learned friend will exert some influence to ensure that the PFI goes ahead in this relationship with Llandrindod Wells court.
