Social Services: Loneliness
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of partnering with Royal Mail to (a) help tackle wider civic challenges and (b) provide a service which supports people who are lonely or in need of regular contact for their own wellbeing.
- Answer
-
The Government recognises the important role postal workers play in supporting local communities.
However, as a private business, it is for Royal Mail’s management to decide which initiatives it chooses to support. The Government does not have a role in Royal Mail’s business decisions.
