HC Deb 03 November 2003 vol 412 c473W
Mr. Dhanda

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions how his Department decides which of its publications should be distributed for display in post offices. [135483]

Mr. Pond

The decision as to which publications are displayed via the Post Office network is made within the Department's Communications Directorate.

Senior managers meet at least every three months to agree the future publications and information to be displayed. The choice is driven by the needs of our customers and is closely linked both to the calendar year and the timing of other marketing work happening across the Department. An example of this is the display of posters and provision of leaflets from October 2003 to April 2004 in support of the Winter Fuel Campaign.

Bi-lingual versions of the agreed publications are provided to Post Offices in Wales.
