The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what proportion of first class post in Frome and East Somerset constituency is delivered on time.

Answered by Justin Madders

Ofcom are the independent regulator of postal services, and the Government do not collect or hold this type of information. Ofcom has a duty to ensure the provision of a financially sustainable and efficient universal postal service. It monitors Royal Mail’s provision of the universal service and has powers to investigate and take enforcement action if Royal Mail fails to achieve its performance targets as appropriate, taking account of all relevant factors.
