I thank my hon. Friend for his excellent speech. I am meeting representatives of Royal Mail in about ten minutes' time so that they can tell me which post offices in my constituency they wish to close. On my hon. Friend's point about more trade for post offices, Fife council recently decided to put more business the Post Office's way by allowing customers to use post offices to pay council bills, but Royal Mail does not seem to have taken that into account. Does my hon. Friend not think that it would be wise for Royal Mail to wait until the full effects of that extra trade, which is significant, are felt so that it can make a full assessment before deciding which post offices it does or does not wish to close?
