HC Deb 05 February 2001 vol 362 c399W
Mr. Alasdair Morgan

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many post offices have closed in Scotland in each of the last 10 years. [148161]

Mr. Alan Johnson

I understand from the Post Office that they do not hold historical data on post office closures by country for the last 10 years. Their records are held on a financial year basis. Net post office closures in Scotland for the years for which figures are available are as follows:

  • Year to end March 1999–25
  • Year to end March 2000–29.
