Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, how many post offices were open in (a) Yorkshire and Humber, (b) the UK and (c) Bradford district in each year since 2010.

The provision of post office branches is the responsibility of Post Office Limited.

A copy of her reply will be placed in the libraries of the House.
