Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what estimate his Department has made of the potential change in the price of a second class postage stamp in the event that the UK leaves the EU (a) with and (b) without a deal.

Decisions about the pricing of postage stamps are operational matters for Royal Mail, subject to any regulatory requirements set by Ofcom. The current price cap for second class stamps is 60p, which is due to rise to 65p with effect from 1 April 2019.
