Newspaper Registration Service (EDM1250)

Newspaper Registration Service

EDM number 1250 in 2003-04, proposed by Michael Connarty on 20/05/2004.

That this House views with deep concern the stated intention of Royal Mail to end the Newspaper Registration Service, whereby registered newspapers are offered a first class delivery service for the payment of a second class fee; recognises the contribution to the educational and democratic fabric of British society offered by such a service; and calls on the Government, who are still the majority owners of the Post Office, to show its commitment to such a valuable communications service for so many citizens and make it clear to Royal Mail that it views the Newspaper Registration Service as one that should not be sacrificed as part of the Royal Mail's interpretation of the commercial freedom it has been given by Parliament.

This motion has been signed by a total of 59 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
