Written Answers
Delivery Services: Standards
Asked by: Matt Bishop (Labour - Forest of Dean)
Wednesday 3rd September 2025

Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what regulatory oversight is in place to ensure (a) (i) accurate and (ii) secure delivery in rural locations and (b) other basic standards of service by delivery companies.

Answered by Justin Madders

Ofcom is the independent regulator for the postal sector with the responsibility and powers to regulate postal services.

The ‘Mail Integrity Objectives’, set out in Ofcom’s Essential Condition 1, seek to minimise the potential for postal packets to be subject to loss, theft, damage or interference. Currently this Essential Condition is effectively restricted to Royal Mail’s services delivered under its universal postal service obligation.

Ofcom engages regularly with all parcel operators to understand their approach to implementation of, and compliance with, its consumer protection measures.
