POST OFFICE CLOSURES (No. 2)

Tabled by Alan Simpson (Labour) 33 signatures

The motion

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.
