BT BILL PAYMENT AT POST OFFICES

Early day motion 1522, tabled 21 May 2007 by Dan Rogerson (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 75 members.

That this House notes with concern BT's decision to remove any reference to payment at the Post Office from the back of its telephone bills; further notes that BT customers can still choose to pay their bills at the Post Office; regrets that BT says that this is not a method it chooses to promote; considers bill payments a key part of the Post Office network's business; notes that Post Office branches are vital centres for communities across the country; considers BT's decision a mean-spirited threat to the sustainability of the Post Office network; and calls on BT to reintroduce a reference to the Post Office on the back of all its telephone bills.
