North Ayrshire & Arran MP Katy Clark has attacked the UK Government over a new Act of Parliament that seeks to privatise the Royal Mail.
The Postal Services Act became law last week and means private companies will now be able to buy-up the most profitable parts of Royal Mail services, putting into jeopardy the continuation of uniform delivery charges, where it costs the same amount to send a letter to any location in the UK.
Katy Clark told the3towns, “I have very serious concerns about the long-term future of both Royal Mail and the Post Office network following the passing of the Postal Services Act. There are media reports that around a quarter of Royal Mail staff will face redundancy as a result of privatisation, and this number of job cuts cannot occur without a substantial knock-on effect on the service provided to Royal Mail customers.”
Supporting Ms Clark’s position, Billy Hayes, General Secretary of the Communications Workers Union, added, “The days are numbered for the Post Office network, postal deliveries and services as we know them.
“How the government can call breaking up and flogging the Royal Mail ‘securing the future of postal services’ beggars belief. This government is destroying public services and the fabric of our economy and society. They are taking a wrecking ball to anything in sight.”
