HC Deb 16 November 2001 vol 374 cc922-3W
Mr. Cox

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many sub-post offices have been(a) opened and (b) closed in each of the London borough authorities in each of the last three years; and if he will list them. [15336]

Mr. Alexander

I understand from Post Office Limited that data on the post office network are not held on a local authority basis. From the financial year 2000–01, network data have been compiled on a regional basis and in that year there were 10 net closures of post offices in the London region.
