ROYAL MAIL ZONAL PRICING

Early day motion 116, tabled 7 November 2007 by Michael Weir (Scottish National Party). Signed by 47 members.

That this House notes the proposals put forward by Royal Mail to introduce a system of zonal pricing for mail delivery; believes that such a system strikes at the heart of the Universal Service Obligation (USO); further notes that Postcomm is minded to refuse the application and congratulates it on this stand; notes, however, that the Royal Mail may re-apply for the introduction of such a system; and calls upon the Government to reiterate its support for the USO and to rule out the introduction of zonal pricing in the future.
