Royal Mail: Standards
Asked by: Lord Sikka (Labour - Life peer) Tuesday 12th March 2024 Question to the Department for Business and Trade: To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of reports that Royal Mail is not currently meeting its first-class and second-class letter delivery targets; and what remedial action they intend to take in response. Answered by Lord Offord of Garvel - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Business and Trade) It is for Ofcom, as the independent regulator of postal services, to set and monitor Royal Mail's service standards and decide how to use its powers to investigate and take enforcement action should Royal Mail fail to achieve its obligations without good justification. In its investigation into quality of service performance for 2022-23, Ofcom found Royal Mail had contravened its service conditions and therefore imposed a £5.6 million fine on the business. Ofcom has committed to closely monitoring Royal Mail's performance and the steps it is taking to return delivery offices to pre-pandemic practices. |
Horizon IT System: Compensation
Asked by: Lord Sikka (Labour - Life peer) Friday 15th March 2024 Question to the Department for Business and Trade: To ask His Majesty's Government what is the (1) highest, and (3) lowest, amount of compensation requested by sub-postmasters following the Post Office Horizon scandal; and what proportion of the requested amounts have been paid. Answered by Lord Offord of Garvel - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Business and Trade) Compensation offers depend on the compensation claim submitted. The total so far paid to the 102 postmasters whose convictions have been overturned is over £38 million, and £34 million has been paid out to 477 GLO claimants. This covers both interim payments and full and final settlements. Postmasters who claimed through the original Horizon Shortfall Scheme (HSS) have now all had offers and 242 offers have been made to late applicants. To date, £107 million has been paid out to all HSS claimants. We publish monthly data on claims received. The most recent monthly data can be found here: The amounts awarded to individuals are not revealed out of respect for individuals’ privacy. |
