HC Deb 20 July 2001 vol 372 c601W
Norman Baker

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many post offices have(a) opened and (b) reopened in each of the last 20 years. [5481]

Mr. Alexander

I understand from Post Office Network that, while they have records of post office closure figures net of openings and reopenings, they do not have separate historic data showing figures for post office openings and reopenings. In the financial year 2000–01, 169 post offices opened or reopened.
