Royal Mail response to Government review (UK)

Royal Mail is committed to maintaining a high quality, financially strong and sustainable postal service with the Universal Service Obligation at its heart, in line with the Postal Services Act and the EU’s Postal Services Directives.

The last few years have seen a huge change in the way in which people and businesses connect and communicate with each other and this is clearly having a major impact on the postal market.

We therefore welcome the decision by the Government to review the impact of liberalisation on UK postal services and trends in future markets development – and its likely impact on Royal Mail, alternative carriers and, most importantly, consumers.
