Business of the House

May we have a topical debate on the rules governing community bids to take over post offices? The Government's response to consultation on the post office network stated:"““The Government wants to encourage more community-run post offices””." Last Monday, I attended a meeting in my constituency, at which EnviroKirn, a local community group, said that it wanted to take over a post office that is threatened with closure. Post Office representatives were far from encouraging, however, and the rules that they set out made it appear almost impossible for a community group to take over a post office. It is clear that the Post Office is not following Government policy, so may we have an urgent debate on the subject?
