Mr. Hain

To ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will place in the Library a copy of his letter of last week to the chairman of Royal Mail concerning a suspension of Royal Mail's monopoly on letters costing less than £1 to send. [38489]

Mr. Lang

I have placed in the Libraries of both Houses a copy of my letter dated 12 July to Sir Michael Heron, the chairman of the Post Office, which initiated consultations with the Post Office about the implications of a suspension of the statutory monopoly on the delivery of letters for under £1.
