The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, when his Department plans to launch its consultation on the future of the Post Office.

Answered by Gareth Thomas

We aim to publish a Green Paper later this year which will set out several proposals for discussion on the future direction of the Post Office. As part of this work, Government will be carefully considering what customers, communities and postmasters would like to see from a modern Post Office network.
