That the Parliament welcomes the news of a new DVLA contract being awarded to Post Office Ltd by the Department of Transport; understands that this contract will allow motorists to continue to be able to buy vehicle tax discs as well as submit driving licence applications or make changes to licence photocards at post offices; believes that this decision comes on the back of a huge public campaign led by the National Federation of SubPostmasters; congratulates the federation on its successful efforts to retain the DVLA contract with Post Office Ltd, and welcomes the benefits that it considers it will offer in the form of crucial resources and services continuing to be offered to communities across Scotland.
