Mr. Mandelson: As announced by my right hon. Friend the President of the Council when President of the Board of Trade, on 6 April
1998, Official Report, column 63, the Government plan to give the Post Office greater commercial freedom so that it can meet the
challenges of the domestic and international markets, and deliver improved efficiency, effectiveness and service standards. The

Mr. Boswell: To ask the President of the Board of Trade if she will make a statement on the current (a) financial situation of and
(b) plans for the future of Parcelforce. [43806]
Mr. Ian McCartney: Parcelforce recorded a loss of £21m in 1996-97; the Post Office accounts for 1997-98, which will include details
of the Parcelforce financial performance last year, are expected to be published next month. The second stage of our review of how
best to grant the Post Office greater commercial freedom within the public sector is looking at a range of issues, including the
future status of Parcelforce. We hope to announce our conclusions on this second stage of the review in the Autumn.
Meanwhile, the development of new twin hubs at Coventry Airport for use by Parcelforce for express and international traffic, for
which planning permission has recently been received, will represent a major step forward in the modernisation of the business, and
should help to secure its longer-term future.
