Cost base
Dear Post Office Limited,
I would be grateful if you could consider this as formal request for information.
What was the cost base (top line and below the line expenditure) for Post Office Ltd for each of the years 2012-2023?
If this is not possible to compile, using baseline year of 2012, what has been the percentage decrease/increase for every year thereafter.
Yours faithfully,
Phillip Green
