Consultation on modification to postal licence exceptions
On 25 October, Postcomm announced that it was considering postal licence exceptions that would simplify regulation in the distribution of share dealing information and give more flexibility in the distribution of election material. A consultation document examines the possibility of excepting letter post from licensing requirements for three specific services:
1. mail arising as part of the settlement system operated by CRESTCo for the UK, Irish and international securities
2. conveyance of poll cards for elections
3. conveyance of other material for Parliamentary and Assembly elections
