In his report Mr. Flynn set out a wide range of options, conclusions and recommendations which included an increase in the remuneration of sub-postmasters, the determination by the Government of a financial framework to ensure the viability of the existing post office network or an agreed modified one, the progression of negotiations on the conversion of sub-post offices to agency status, investment in the rural network, as well as the Government taking the necessary steps to maximise the amount of its business channelled through the network.
