HC Deb 17 December 2002 vol 396 c739W
Geraldine Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what representations she has made to Postcomm on their recent proposals. [87522]

Mr. Timms

The Government has a clear interest as the shareholder in Royal Mail Group. The Department therefore made a response to Postcomm's recent consultation document on the proposal for a second price control. The response concerned the financial package that the Government is putting in place to enable the mails business to implement its renewal plan.
