Although remuneration rates are an operational matter for Post Office, postmaster remuneration is something I regularly raise in my meetings with the CEO of Post Office Ltd.<\/p>
<\/p>
Remuneration rates are designed to reflect the differing operating models, range of products and services and cost structures between main and local branches.<\/p>
<\/p>
As I stressed at the National Federation of Sub Postmasters Conference on 13th<\/sup> May, we recognise how important postmaster pay issues are for postmasters and the future of the network and believe there are opportunities for Post Office that will make a difference to postmasters, particularly in the cash and banking space.<\/p>"}
