Royal Mail Fine
EDM number 1717 in 2005-06, proposed by Roger Godsiff on 28/02/2006.
That this House notes that the Royal Mail has recently been fined £11.7 million for allowing millions of letters and parcels to be lost or stolen through lack of managerial supervision; further notes that the industry's regulator, Postcomm, who levied the fine, believed that the fault lay overwhelmingly with the management and was not a reflection on the dedication and commitment of postmen and postwomen; and agrees with consumer groups, including Postwatch, that customers will welcome the penalty as it will send a clear message to the Royal Mail that the service continues to be far from satisfactory.
This motion has been signed by a total of 29 MPs.
