Postal Services: Rural Areas
(asked on 9th February 2023) - View Source
Question to the Department for Business and Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of planned closures of Royal Mail Customer Service Points on rural mail services.
This question was answered on 24th February 2023
The Government recognises the important role that the postal service plays in providing key services to local communities across the country.
However, as a private business, the closure of Customer Service Points is a commercial and operational matter for Royal Mail. The Government does not have a role in Royal Mail’s commercial or operational decisions.
