Lembit Öpik, Liberal Democrat MP for Montgomeryshire, gave a measured welcome to the news today that the Dolanog House Tax Office in Welshpool will be delayed until 2010/2011.
Commenting, Lembit Öpik said:
"This is encouraging news but work still needs to be done to stop this tax office being closed in the future. They had hinted that this might be the timetable, but at least now we know. It means we have a limited time to try and reverse the decision, and that means a lot of work needs to be done in the interim.
"The Government owes it to the loyal and experienced staff at Dolanog House to keep their office open. They do a good job and it's clear the service they provide could be valued instead of closed, by making a strategic commitment to its future.
"While a stay of execution is good, I intend to continue my campaign for a full pardon.
