If rural post offices are to prosper, then we must allow them to offer a wider choice of facilities. There currently is a vacuum being created by the high s t r e e t banks, who are' with­ drawing branches from rural communities, but this vacuum could be filled by allowing post offices to act as agents p ro v id in g ban k in g services.


I am delighted that the Prime Minister has made it clear that the Government is commit­ ted to maintain small post offices. However, we must not become complacent. It is essen­ tial tha t we support these valuable assets to ensure they remain open.


A long-lasting solution must be found to help preserve the valuable service our rural post offices offer and I will continue to press for this outcome.

I WILL shortly be meet­ ing Kenneth Clarke, the Home Secretary, to dis­ cuss further changes needed to the Criminal Justice Act (1991).


I am a strong supporter of village post offices, as I feel they are vital to rural life. Their demise would strike a serious blow to the heart of many of the small com­ munities in my constitu­ ency and the conse­ quences to community life would be severe.


of Commons. The two most important is su e s to em e rg e must be the debate s u r ro u n d in g th e future of our rural post offices and the changes to the Crim- in a l J u s t i c e A c t (1991).

While I welcome his announcement that he is scrapping the unit fining system and allowing the criminal record of an offender to be taken into consideration before sentencing, I feel the reforms do not go far enough.


I have been conducting a series of town hall meet­ ings around my constitu­ ency over the last few weeks to discuss crime. The message which comes through loud and clear is that a minority of thugs is responsible for the majority of offences. There is no question th a t, when these people are caught, they should be impri­ soned to spare our com­ munities their ravages.


The Home Secretary must make it abundantly clear that those responsible for d es tru c tiv e and harmful criminal acts will face severe prison sentences. I t is only when the law can punish people properly that the m e s s a g e w i l l g e t through that we mean business.


I will not only be asking Kenneth Clarke for to u g h e r sentencing laws, but also that he take action to ensure our police are released from paper pushing and form filling and placed back on the streets. They are the front line in the fight against crime and we must allow them to do


their job to the best of their ability.


THERE are, of course, many other local issues of concern, the most current being the debate about the development of Bellman Quarry. I recognise the important p ar t Castle Cement plays in p ro v id in g employment in the Rib- ble Valley, but the gen­ uine concerns of the sur­ rounding communities must be heard.


* * ★


I am supporting calls from local people and the Rib- ble Valley Council for a full public inquiry into Castle Cement’s applica­ tion to develop Bellman


Quarry. I have also a sk e d L a n c a s h i r e County Council to pro­ ceed with the utmost caution. This is the lar­ gest mining application it has received and it must not make any hasty decisions which could prove disastrous in the future.
