This issue is vitally important. We had a discussion on the post office network yesterday. There is need for fundamental engagement with all of society on the post office network. I am glad the Minister foresees that there will not be any employment issues and I hope that is correct.

Another issue is to get the public to buy into this new system. Often when the change of this magnitude is proposed, the public is sceptical of it. Is it envisaged that there will be an information campaign on this new system?

The Minister said that he should have a report on this by the end of this month and that he will bring it to Cabinet in September. By what date does he envisage the national postcode system will be operational?
