Mark has welcomed the news of a 10-year deal between Royal Mail and the Post Office which has meant that the future of the services is secure. 

The deal follows the Government’s other measures to protect Post Office services including additional funding, new local and national contracts, a successful piloting scheme to transform many local post offices and improvements in the services offered.

Commenting, Mark said: ‘In opposition Conservatives campaigned tirelessly to secure this service, so the Government’s announcement means the future of the Post Office is secured guaranteeing this valuable service for millions of people.’
