Question to the Department for Business and Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, if his Department will consult on the closure and franchising of Crown Post Offices.
No decisions regarding Crown, or ‘Directly Managed’ Branches, have been taken. The Post Office works with local communities to consider how to best meet needs for Post Office services in a local area. The Post Office will continue to deliver on the 11,500 minimum branch requirement set by Government.
