Royal Mail: Sunday And Bank Holiday Collections

EDM number 2173 in 2006-07, proposed by David Drew on 23/10/2007.

That this House notes with concern the decision taken by Royal Mail and endorsed by Postcomm and Postwatch to end the collection of mail on Sundays and bank holidays; is equally worried that this decision appears to have been based on a survey of 1,000 people; considers that there was a failure properly to consult staff, unions, the public and hon. Members, and that customers are only being informed of the change by the presence of small stickers being placed on post boxes; and calls on Royal Mail to think again about this decision and its consultation processes.

This motion has been signed by a total of 35 MPs.
