Dr. Cable: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what recent representations she has received from businesses and
individuals about the services operated by Parcel Force; and if she will make a statement. [77478]
Mr. Timms: Services operated by Parcelforce are an operational matter for the company. Recent representations I have received on
behalf of businesses concerning these matters have therefore been passed on to Consignia plc for attention. I answered an
adjournment debate yesterday on a representation raised with me by the hon. Member for Guildford.

Dr. Stoate: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if she will make a statement on the decision of Consignia to close
the Dartford Parcelforce Depot. [57111]
Mr. Alexander: Parcelforce Worldwide is losing £15 million per month. Despite investment of around £200 million in recent years,
Consignia has failed to turn its parcels operation around and a new approach was needed to restructure and re-position the business.
Closure of Dartford depot in August will result in business moving to a nearby facility in Charlton.
The loss of jobs as a result of restructuring is regrettable. The company will offer as many as possible of those affected the
option of continued employment with a different part of the business or a voluntary redundancy package.
The decision to restructure Parcelforce was taken by the Board of Consignia. The Government accepts that action is necessary to stem
the company's losses. Undertaking this action is a commercial matter for the Board of Consignia.

Dr. Cable: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry when she last met Consignia to discuss the franchise arrangements
for Parcelforce. [23267]
Mr. Alexander: [holding answer 17 December 2001]:
The Department has regular discussions with Consignia about a range of strategic issues facing the company. However, franchise
arrangements for Parcelforce are operational issues for the management of the company which I understand is consulting with the
unions on the matter.
