That remains the goal on both sides and we are confident that this will be achieved.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/10/2018 answer text <p>The Government recognises the critical role that post offices play in communities and for small businesses across the UK. This is why the Government committed to safeguard the post office network and protect existing rural services. The overall number of post offices across the UK remains at its most stable in decades with over 11,500 branches thanks to significant Government investment of over £2 billion since 2010.</p><p> </p><p>While the Government sets the strategic direction for the Post Office, it allows the company the commercial freedom to deliver this strategy as an independent business. The distribution of branches is an operational matter of commercial judgement for the Post Office management team. I have therefore asked Paula Vennells, the Group Chief Executive of Post Office Limited, to write to you on this matter. A copy of her reply will be placed in the Library of the House.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Vale of Glamorgan answering member printed Alun Cairns question first answered 18/10/2018 14:12:11 answering member 4086 label Biography information for Alun Cairns
