Royal Mail Group Plc And The Universal Service Obligation (EDM272)

Royal Mail Group Plc And The Universal Service Obligation

EDM number 272 in 2005-06, proposed by Mike Weir on 07/06/2005.

That this House is concerned that in its response to Postcomm's proposals for a price control regime Royal Mail Group plc has raised the possibility of being unable to retain the universal service obligation; notes that the obligation is essential to rural areas and that it should not be used as a weapon in an argument between the regulator and operator; and calls upon the Secretary of State for Trade and Indusry to state unambiguously that there are no circumstances in which the operator will be allowed to evade the obligation.

This motion has been signed by a total of 40 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
