FUTURE OF THE POST OFFICE

  • Session: 1993-94
  • Date tabled: 13.12.1993
  • Primary sponsor: Hain, Peter
  • Sponsors:

    That this House notes the unprecedented strong language of Post Office Chairman Mike Heron and Chief Executive Bill Cockburn when criticising the Government for delaying its decision on the future of the Post Office; agrees that a sense of crisis is growing within the Post Office, with cuts in investment and huge increases in the external finance limit as the price paid by both the Post Office and its customers for Government mismanagement; recognises that the comments of the Chairman and Chief Executive are born out of utter frustration; and urges the Government to admit its plans to privatise the Post Office are not only misplaced dogma but massively unpopular and should be abandoned forthwith, instead giving the Post Office the commercial freedom within the public sector which management and unions have jointly demanded so that the British Post Office can become the leading force in an increasingly competitive and global mail market. (Relevant registered interest declared).
