The question
To ask the Scottish Executive what action it is taking to support the Post Office in its efforts to revitalise the Post Office network, as referred to in A Partnership for a Better Scotland.
The answer
Post offices, postal services and Royal Mail Group plc are reserved matters. The Scottish Executive's £2 million Fund to Develop Post Offices in Deprived Urban Areas was launched on 30 December 2002. It aims to contribute to the community regeneration of deprived urban areas by sustaining and improving post office branches, on the margins of viability, that provide socially important services and facilities. The Executive is also participating in Post Office-led discussions about development of the rural network.
