Post Office: Finance

Keith Vaz
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform what the budget was for the running of Post Office Ltd. in (a) 2007, (b) 2006 and (c) 2005; and what it is expected to be in 2008.

Mr. McFadden
This is an operational matter for Post Office Ltd. (POL). I have therefore asked Alan Cook, Managing Director of POL, to reply direct to the right hon. Member.

Copies of the letter will be placed in the Libraries of the House.
