Proceeding contribution from Alan Reid (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 16 December 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Royal Mail.
Royal Mail
I welcome the commitment to the universal service obligation, but if Royal Mail is to be in a position to continue to deliver it, it must be adequately funded and have fair competition. Will the Minister consider a levy on companies that are not implementing the universal service obligation and are using the money to pay Royal Mail to do so? At present, too many private companies are cherry-picking the easy side of the business.
