Postal Services Bill

Julian Huppert Excerpts

Wednesday 27th October 2010 Commons Chamber

[Several hon. Members]

[Dr Julian Huppert (Cambridge) (LD)]

Does my right hon. Friend share my sheer joy and satisfaction both about the money and about the idea that we will no longer have to campaign against Government closures of post offices? We can get on with supporting them in their work.

[Vince Cable]

Yes, indeed. That is the outcome. For the past decade I and many on the Opposition Benches have been involved in fighting for our local post offices. In many cases, constituencies have seen the loss of a dozen post offices. That will come to an end.
