Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Kate Dearden and Noah Law

Thursday 15th October 2026 Commons Chamber

[Kate Dearden]

I thank the hon. Member for raising this issue on behalf of his constituents, and I share his concerns; I know from my own inbox, as a constituency MP, the challenges that arise when people do not receive their post on time and there are significant delays. I have been frank in my conversations with the CEO of Royal Mail that its service has been unacceptable for too long and that the pace of improvement must improve. The public and his constituents deserve a reliable postal service, and they are right to expect better. If he wants to share those data with me and with Royal Mail, and add to that pressure, I would welcome that.

[Noah Law (St Austell and Newquay) (Lab)]
