Sir Menzies Campbell has welcomed the news that the UK Government has renewed the pensions and benefits card account contract with the Post Office and hailed it as “an outbreak in common senseâ€.
Sir Menzies said:
“Thank goodness for an outbreak in common sense on the part of the Government.
“The Post Office network has taken too many blows in recent years and if the Card Account had gone elsewhere the consequences would have been dire.
“This decision is a tribute to the pressure exercised by the public who have made their feelings known at every level of Government and has strengthened the arm of MPs like myself. I have had more campaign postcards on this issue than any other in the 21 years since I became an MP.â€
