Bring Royal Mail back into public ownership

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 8 October 2026

Return Royal Mail to public ownership and publish a funded plan to secure a reliable, affordable universal postal service, with investment in delivery standards and fair employment conditions for postal workers. Royal Mail is essential national infrastructure. People and businesses depend on it for medical appointments, important documents and everyday deliveries. We believe public ownership would provide greater accountability and allow investment to focus on reliable deliveries, affordable postage and decent working conditions. The Government should set out how it would acquire Royal Mail and fund a sustainable postal service serving every community.

Require parliamentary scrutiny of any proposal to amend the Royal Mail USO

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 15 November 2024

We call on the Government to amend legislation to require parliamentary scrutiny on any change to the Royal Mail's Universal Service Obligation (USO). We also call on the Government to: insist any changes to the USO are dependent on Royal Mail meeting existing performance delivery targets for letters and cards; regulate the price of first class mail to avoid further above-inflation rises; and insist Royal Mail maintains a national, affordable, and reliable postal service that supports high streets and communities across the UK.
