I wish to present a petition from my constituents residing in Maesteg in the Ogmore constituency and in the borough of Ogwr expressing great dismay and concern that the Crown post office at Maesteg, serving a population of some 25,000, should be downgraded to that of an agency office without any guaranteee that the provision of the present services will remain available and that the staff employed will enjoy the present nationally agreed pay and conditions of work. The 5,000 signatories also clearly state that this will not be in the long-term interests of the people of Maesteg. Wherefore your petitioners pray that your honourable House do urge Right Honourable Peter Lilley, Secretary of State for Trade and Industry, to intervene in the proposal to downgrade the Maesteg Crown post office to an agency office.

And your petitioners will, as in duty bound, ever pray.

To lie upon the Table.
