There are no plans to devolve the Post Office in Wales. The access criteria set by Government ensures Post Office delivers essential services across all four nations of the UK via its network of 11,500 branches.

We will work closely with the Welsh Government in line with the existing devolution settlement. Welsh businesses can access a range of DBT support including those delivered through our unrivalled international network at posts overseas.
