Support for postmasters over social protection forms

I wish to support the postmasters’ recent appeal to withdraw from circulation new social protection forms which recommend payment through banks, and discourage use of post offices.

Post offices will be under threat of closure if social protection business is taken away.

A post office is a vital element in any community. Those who run the post offices always look out for their elderly customers and have a great human relationship with them. We must acknowledge the dedication of the post office staff to their communities.
