Mr. Heathcoat-Amory

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Services what alternative arrangements he has made for the payment of benefits after the closure of the Abingdon street post office, Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset.

Mr. Portillo

The main Burnham post office is only half a mile from the former Abingdon street post office, and additional staff have been provided there to cope with the increased callers.
