Government consultation on Post Office must go further
2 December 2009
Unite is disappointed that the government consultation,
announced today by Business Secretary, Lord Mandelson, does not go
far enough.
Unite believes that the Post Office network is key to removing
social exclusion from society and making available banking services
to all.
Paul Reuter, Unite national officer said: "The government have
missed a real opportunity to provide a people's bank based at the
Post Office. The government should extend this consultation to
examine how this could be done. The Post Office network is key to
removing social exclusion from society and making available banking
services to all. A Post Office Bank can make a valuable
contribution to society."
