Royal Mail: Scrapping Saturday post not supported by government

The government has said it would not support Royal Mail scrapping post deliveries on Saturdays. "The PM's strong view is that Saturday deliveries provide flexibility and convenience," said Rishi Sunak's spokesperson on Monday. "They are important for businesses and particularly publishers. The Prime Minister would not countenance seeing Saturday deliveries scrapped." Ofcom, which regulates the postal industry, is set to publish a document outlining options on how Royal Mail can "Evolve to more closely meet consumer needs". Royal Mail posted a £319m loss for the first half of the current financial year and the business, which is owned by shareholders, has been calling for urgent reform since 2020.
