§ Mr. WoodwardTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what plans he has for the development of Post Bus services under the proposals for the reform of the Post Office. [91506]
§ Ms Glenda JacksonPost Bus services are principally an operational matter for the Post Office. We recognise, however, that such services can provide important transport links for people in rural areas, and the Countryside Agency provides grants from the Rural Transport Development Fund towards the costs of starting up new Post Bus services in rural areas of England.
