LABOUR’S POST OFFICE BETRAYAL OVERSHADOWS PEOPLE’S BANK SAYS JOHN THURSO

“This is a very small step in the right direction towards keeping Post Offices open and giving this vital network a sustainable future," said the Liberal Democrat Shadow Business Secretary, John Thurso.

Commenting on the Government’s proposals to launch a People’s Bank through the Post Office network,
John Thurso said: “The case for a Post Bank is compelling after years of neglect and Post Office closures by Labour.

“The Government’s apparent deathbed conversion will be greeted with a large dose of scepticism by local campaigners whose views have long been ignored.

“The idea of a Post Bank has been around for years now and many of these proposals were already under development.

“This is a very small step in the right direction towards keeping Post Offices open and giving this vital network a sustainable future.”
