HC Deb 26 June 2003 vol 407 c928W
Mr. Peter Duncan

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many Post Office card accounts have been opened in Scotland. [119356]

Mr. Timms

The information is not available in the format requested. National figures are available only.

However, I understand from the Post Office Ltd. that, as of 31 May 2003, 32,900 Post Office card accounts have been opened.

This number should grow rapidly over the coming weeks and months as those people opting for a card account complete the application process. By the end of May 2003, some 330,000 people had said they want to open a Post Office card account.
