Postal Services

Mr. Adley 
asked the Secretary of State for Industry if he is satisfied with the operation of the postal services; and if  he will consider proposals to encourage the establishment of competitive services.

Mr. Gregor Mackenzie 
I am satisfied that the Post Office and its staff are working together to make the postal services in all areas of the country as good as they can be; and that to establish competitive letter services would be incompatible with this aim.
