HC Deb 09 July 1996 vol 281 cc120-1W
Mrs. Dunwoody

To ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will list the number of Crown post offices in(a) Crewe and Nantwich and (b) Cheshire, for each of the last five years. [36452]

Mr. Oppenheim

I understand from the Post Office that the number of Crown post offices in Crewe and Nantwich in each of the last five years was as follows:

  • End March 1992: 2
  • End March 1993: 2
  • End March 1994: 2
  • End March 1995: 1
  • End March 1996: 1

As a result of changes to the regional structure of Post Office Counters Ltd. in 1993, it has not yet been possible for them to compile the equivalent information for Cheshire. I will write to the hon. Member as soon as the information is available.
