The question
To ask the Scottish Executive how much has been received from Her Majesty's Government towards the support of post offices in urban deprived areas and how much it has spent on such post offices.
The answer
The Scottish Executive's Assigned Budget was increased by £1.5 million as a formula consequential, reflecting the funds set aside in England to support post offices in deprived urban areas. Decisions on the use of the Assigned Budget are devolved. Ministers continue to examine the scope for providing support to post offices in deprived urban areas in Scotland. However, no funding has yet been committed.
