Royal Mail: Northern Ireland
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether he has discussed with Royal Mail updating international addressing systems so that Northern Ireland can be selected as a distinct region.
Answered by Blair McDougall
International addressing systems are operational tools, owned and maintained by Royal Mail, with their primary purpose being to ensure the accurate sorting, routing and delivery of customers’ mail. Royal Mail keeps this under review for its purposes.
Royal Mail is an independent business and therefore the government does not have a role in Royal Mail’s commercial or technical decisions.
