Post Office Name Change (EDM185)

Post Office Name Change

EDM number 185 in 2000-01, proposed by Kelvin Hopkins on 10/01/2001.

That this House notes the announcement by the Post Office that it proposes to change its name to 'Consignia' and believes this to be misguided; calls on the Post Office to reconsider its decision; agrees with the Communication Workers' Union that such a change of name would be 'dumping 350 years of proud history and solid reputation at the whim of a marketing consultant'; and urges that the Post Office retains its historic and valued role as a universal public service.

This motion has been signed by a total of 82 MPs.
