Royal Mail - Scrapping Saturday Post Among Ofcom Options For Reform - Will Another Privatised Industry Go Backwards

21st January 2024

Royal Mail could be allowed to scrap Saturday post deliveries, as part of an Ofcom review into how the postal service may need updating.

The regulator is set to publish a document next week outlining options on how Royal Mail can "evolve to more closely meet consumer needs".

However, Ofcom - which regulates the postal industry - says it is not commenting on what the options will be.

Royal Mail posted a £319m loss for the first half of this financial year.

The business has been calling for urgent reform since 2020 and previously said it would like to go from delivering six days a week to five, from Monday to Friday only.
