Post Office Closures (No. 2)

EDM number 1094 in 2007-08, proposed by Alan Simpson on 03/03/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Postal services and Service industries.

That this House rejects criticisms of nimbyism against Ministers campaigning against local post office closures; recognises that the problem lies in the shambles of closure decisions announced by Adam Crozier since his move from the Football Association to the Post Office; recognises that there is no coherent case behind many of the decisions; acknowledges that the Government has a role to play in restoring services that can be delivered through post offices (including the collection of pensions); and calls for the Government to order an independent review of the whole closure programme.

This motion has been signed by a total of 33 MPs.
