To ask the Minister of State, Department for Business, Innovation and Skills how many post office branches in Birmingham Sparkbrook & Small Heath constituency have been closed in each year since 2004; and how many such branches have been replaced by Outreach services. (291565)

The Department does not hold the information requested. I have therefore asked Alan Cook, Managing Director of Post Office Ltd, to respond directly to the hon. Friend and a copy of his reply will be placed in the Libraries of the House.
