Dear Colleague,

Royal Mail Group - Privatisation

Further to the Annual Conference decision on the subject of Royal Mail Group Privatisation, this LTB is to update Branches.

A National Campaign Committee has now been established. Please note that as previously advised the Bill to privatise Royal Mail will have its First Reading in October 2010.

The Houses of Parliament rises on Thursday July 29th and resumes on Monday September 6th 2010. There are no further dates scheduled as yet.

The Union has drawn together a list of the 65 marginal seats and the run up to this is attached to the LTB. This will be useful in pulling together the coalition on the matter.

Further details will be issued in due course.

Any inquiries on this LTB should be addressed to the General Secretary's Office quoting the Reference GS 11.0

Yours sincerely

W HAYES DAVE WARD
General Secretary Deputy General Secretary (P)
