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.
