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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what the timetable is for the publication of the Post Office Network Report for 2016 pursuant to section 11 of the Postal Services Act 2011.

There is no set timetable for the publication of the annual Post Office Network report each year. Pursuant to section 11(6) of the Postal Services Act 2011, my Rt Hon Friend the Secretary of State expects to lay the 2015/16 report in Parliament shortly. Once laid the Post Office will publish the report on its website.
