USE OF NORTH HUMBERSIDE BY THE POST OFFICE FOR WRITTEN CORRESPONDENCE

Early day motion 1139, tabled 10 March 2008 by Graham Stuart (Conservative). Signed by 9 members.

That this House notes that the county of Humberside was abolished on 1st April 1996; further notes that it was replaced by four individual unitary authorities: Kingston-upon-Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire, North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire; further notes that almost 12 years on from that day, residents in the East Riding of Yorkshire continue to receive written correspondence marked North Humberside; further notes that this has caused a great deal of frustration amongst local people, who have great affection for the county of Yorkshire and who want to have their place of residence recognised; and calls on the Government to liaise with the Royal Mail Group to have this anomaly corrected at the earliest possible moment.

Signatures by party: Conservative 3, DUP 3, Labour 2, Liberal Democrat 1.
