Trade and Industry written question – answered at on 22 February 2007.
To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what the current access standard is for post offices in (a) urban areas and (b) deprived urban areas; what proposals he has made to change these standards; for what reasons changes have been proposed; and if he will make a statement.
Currently there are no access criteria for post offices in urban, deprived urban or rural areas. The access criteria proposed in the Government's consultation document are designed to balance the Government's desire to preserve a national network with protection for vulnerable communities with the need to put the post office network on a more stable financial footing.
