Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to increase the number of services and facilities that can be accessed from Post Offices.

While publicly owned, Post Office operates at arm’s length from Government as a commercial business with its own Board. Government protects access to a range of key services, but Post Office has commercial freedom to adapt its services to meet the needs of its diverse customer base. Post Office continues to work with both the private and public sectors to identify new opportunities to deliver different services through its network.
