Royal Mail: Universal Service Obligation
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what recent assessment he has made of the proposals by prospective buyers of Royal Mail.
Answered by Justin Madders
The Government acknowledges the undertakings set out in the offer to shareholders which show that the prospective buyers are alert to the importance of Royal Mail and the special place it has in the UK.
We are engaging with the bidder to understand better their plans for Royal Mail and to set out the Government’s expectations for its future.
