SUB-POST OFFICE CLOSURE PLANS

Tabled by Mr Elfyn Llwyd (Plaid Cymru) 29 signatures

The motion

That this House condemns the Post Office closure plans and supports the campaign in the Daily Post to save threatened rural post offices in Wales; notes that they provide a vital service to the community; further notes that the processing of benefits and pension entitlements and other Government contracts provide sub-post offices with an invaluable source of income; is concerned at the way in which government has taken away these income streams; and calls on the Government to re-allocate contracts to sub-post offices and to provide adequate funding for sub-post offices to expand on the services they offer.
