HC Deb 17 December 2003 vol 415 c931W
Mr. Bellingham

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many items of mail(a) missed their delivery targets and (b) missed their delivery targets as a result of industrial action in each of the last five years. [142137]

Mr. Timms

The number of mail items that missed their delivery targets is an operational matter than falls within the day-to-day responsibility of the Royal Mail Board. I have therefore asked the Chief Executive to reply direct to the hon. Member.
