HC Deb 04 November 1996 vol 284 c329W
Mrs. Roche

To ask the President of the Board of Trade how many post offices have(a) closed and (b) lost Crown status since April 1992. [1229]

Mr. Page

I understand from the Post Office that nationally the number of post offices which closed—net of reopenings—between 1 April 1992 and 30 September 1996 is 855. During the same period, 376 Crown post offices were converted to agency status.
