§ Dr. CableTo ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many(a) Crown post offices, (b) franchised post offices and (c) sub-post offices there were in each constituency in (i) 1989 and (ii) 1999. [118772]
§ Mr. Alan JohnsonI understand from the Post Office that they do not hold historical data for the types and numbers of post offices by parliamentary constituency. I have obtained from the Post Office a list of the information as at 1 October 1999, the latest date available, and have arranged for a copy to be placed in the Libraries of the House.
