How long does the Minister anticipate that post offices will have to wait before they are in a position to take applications for universal credit?

Just to be clear, people can receive universal credit into an account accessible at a post office already. Universal credit obviously has an online application process, so if there is access to the internet at local post offices, that can be done already.
