Labour accused over post offices

Apr 23 2010

Liberal Democrat leader Tavish Scott has accused Labour MPs of doing nothing to stop the post office network being "decimated".

Mr Scott visited a post office in the Glasgow North constituency along with party candidate Katy Gordon. The seat was held by Scotland Office minister Ann McKechin at the last election.

He said: "Katy Gordon fought alongside local residents to save Kelvindale Post Office when it was threatened with closure. Scottish Labour MPs stood by and did nothing while the UK Government decimated our Post Office network."
