Price of UK first class stamps to rise

Posted by | Apr 3, 2006 | |

The price of a first class stamp will rise by two pence to 32p from today. The increase is part of the Royal Mail’s bid to work out future financing as it deals with competition since the postal market was opened up in January. But the firm has been reined in from costing its stamps too high by its regulator Postcomm, until 2010 when first class stamps will go up to 37p. The price rise will also see first Class franking prices go up to 31p, second class stamps up to 23p, and a second class franking price will be introduced at 22p. The Special Delivery service will increase by 25p to GBP4.10 for mail up to 100g.
The modest increase will enable the Royal Mail to modernise its operations, secure the nationwide delivery service and help to plug its GBP4 billion pension fund deficit.
