Postcomm consults on a long term licence for The Mailing House Group Limited

Postcomm today began a 30-day consultation on the proposed issue of a new long-term licence to The Mailing House Group Limited.

Under the new licensing framework that took effect from 1 January 2006, the licence would:
allow The Mailing House Group to provide all types of postal service;
be issued for a rolling ten year period;
require the company to comply with codes of practice on mail integrity (safety and security of the mail) and common operational procedures (designed to ensure the multi-operator market works well in practice).

The consultation document and proposed licence can be found on the Mailing House Group Limited’s consultation page. Printed copies are available from Postcomm at Hercules House, 6 Hercules Road, London, SE1 7DB. The closing date for responses is 15 December 2006
