Mr Philip Hollobone (Kettering) (Con)
One of the most attractive features of Royal Mail privatisation has been the increase in employee share ownership. I am particularly pleased that free shares were issued to postmen and postwomen, especially the hard-working posties in Kettering. Will the Business Secretary tell the House how much the average stake that Kettering posties have in Royal Mail is now worth?
Vince Cable
As I said a few moments ago, the average stake is estimated to be roughly £4,000.
