PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
ROYAL MAIL STATUTORY MONOPOLY (15 July 1996)
Motion Details
That this House welcomes the Government's review of the Royal Mail's statutory monopoly on delivery of letters under £1; notes that this one of the few artificial monopolies left remaining and that this monopoly leaves the consumer at the mercy of a single industrial dispute at a huge cost to the economy; hopes that consumer choice will be extended in this most crucial area of our national life; and looks forward to a positive outcome of the review.
