To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, pursuant to the Answer of 10 February 2022 to Question 119883, on Post Offices: Stockport, whether an estimate has been made of the number of Crown Post Offices in Stockport.

Asked by:
Navendu Mishra (Labour)

The Post Office network is largely franchised and made up of small businesses – almost 99% of the total network operates successfully on a franchise or agency basis. The constituency of Stockport currently has nine post office branches and one Crown Post Office.

In terms of quality of service and access arrangements a recent report by Citizen's Advice indicates that franchised branches are performing in line with or better than traditional branches. ​​​​
