HC Deb 11 March 1998 vol 308 c235W
Mrs. Lait

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what progress has been made in giving the Post Office greater commercial freedom. [33674]

Mr. Ian McCartney

I have been reviewing carefully the views advanced by interested parties during the consultations which followed my announcement last year of a review of options for granting the Post Office greater commercial freedom. These will inform our decisions on the next phase of the work. I will make an announcement in due course.
