Future of the Post Office Network — Congratulates the Government — 13 Jan 2004 at 18:59

The majority of MPs voted for the motion:[1]

  • This House
  • congratulates the Government for its commitment to modernise and invest in the national network of post offices while keeping them easily accessible to all customers;
  • notes that the choice of account for customers into which they wish their benefits paid is entirely a matter for the customer concerned and congratulates the Government on ensuring that all the necessary information is available to customers to make an informed choice;
  • applauds the Government's £2 billion investment in the Post Office network and its success in reducing the rate of rural post office closures;
  • notes the Post Office's commitment to ensuring that 95% of the urban population live within a mile of a post office, and the majority within half a mile, and that honourable Members are consulted on proposed closures as part of an agreed process between the Post Office and Postwatch;
  • further notes that 3,500 post offices closed under the previous administration; and
  • condemns those who seek to undermine confidence in Britain's postal services.

An earlier motion critical of the Government had just been voted down.[2]
