Temporary Branch Closures as of 31st March 2020

The request was refused by Post Office Limited.

Dear Post Office Limited,

In a letter to Marion Fellows MP of 8th June 2020, Post Office CEO Nick Read reveals a total of 1199 temporary branch closures across the network at 31st March 2020. This figure is exclusive of branches impacted by Covid-19.

i) Please can you reveal how many of the 1199 closures were triggered by irregularities in branch accounts following POL audits?

Ii) Of any closures due irregularities in branch accounts, how many sub-postmasters:
a) were suspended?
b) have been re-instated?
c) had their contracts terminated?
