The government confirmed that they no longer plan to part privatise Royal Mail. The turnaround is being attributed to opposition from unions and Labour MP's, and also due to poor market conditions. The government had planned to pay off Royal Mails £8 billion pension deficit with the sell off. The government now must look at alternative ideas to pay off the pension deficit and also look at plans to modernise the company. Royal Mail are planning a series of strikes held over three days later this month in a row over jobs and services. |

In a recent interview Lord Mandelson admitted that plans to sell Royal Mail were being delayed partly to the Parliament summer break and partly due to the recession meaning that the company would be worth less than before. There had been speculation that the plan may be shelved due to lack of support from other MP's. However Mandelson also admitted that Royal Mails finances were at breaking point due to the £8 billion pension deficit. No date has been set for the relevant legislation to be introduced to allow for the sale. |
