Post Office needs support to modernise

November 17, 2008 12:00 AM

Royal Mail lorryCommenting on today's Postcomm report which calls on Royal Mail Group and the Post Office to be run as separate businesses, Liberal Democrat Shadow Business Secretary, John Thurso said:

"What both these businesses need is clarity. The recommendation that they should be split into separate businesses is something the Liberal Democrats have long called for and makes good sense. "

"Now that the Post Office has the contract for the card account, it needs to be supported so it can adapt to being a modern 21st century business.

"The critical issue is how it is done, and more importantly, how they are both properly funded."

    If you are a resident of the Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
