FUTURE OF THE POST OFFICE NETWORK

That this House recognises the unique and valued national institution of Royal Mail at this time of financial crisis; urges the Government to create a people's bank based on its trusted post office network; and further urges the Government to stop the damaging and unpopular post office branch closure programme, strengthen the Post Office card account to make it a key part of a new nationally-owned bank and take the necessary and popular steps to stop further cutting back of Royal Mail capacity.
