Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, if she will hold discussions with Royal Mail on publishing a list of the 20 parliamentary constituencies in which Royal Mail has most frequently failed to meet its universal service obligation.

The Postal Services Act 2011 delegates responsibility for the regulation of Royal Mail, as the UK’s universal service provider, including reporting requirements, to Ofcom.

The Government does not have a role in Ofcom’s regulatory decisions.
