HC Deb 22 June 1984 vol 62 c295W
Mr. Alex Carlile

asked the Secretary of State for Wales whether the Post Office has any proposals for the administration within Wales of all Welsh post offices and sub-post offices; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Nicholas Edwards

The administration of Welsh post offices and sub-post offices is the responsibility of the Wales and the Marches Postal Board.

Mr. Alex Carlile

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how many sub-post offices in Wales were closed during 1983 and during the first five months of 1984.

Mr. Nicholas Edwards

The Wales and the Marches Postal Board informs me that the network was reduced by 30 sub-post offices in 1983. The most recent figures for 1984, covering the period up to April, report 15 closures.
