00:02Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker.
00:03Minstilly Village has recently seen its rural outreach post office service withdrawn with just two days' notice.
00:10The unplanned closure affects three villages and was given no explanation nor consultation
00:14with residents, postmaster, council or the three members of Parliament
00:18in clear breach of the principles of engagement set out by the government.
00:22Can the Leader please raise with the Minister for Business and Trade
00:24the serious concerns of my residents and ensure the post office is fulfilling its obligations
00:29to roll up communities like mine?
00:31Well, look, post office closures are a really serious matter for this House
00:35and I would implore her, as she is doing today, that as the local MP
00:38she stands up for the post office services in her constituency
00:42and campaigns for them to remain open.
00:45I will absolutely ensure that she gets a ministerial reply about what's happening.
