<p>Ofcom, as the designated independent regulator of postal services, is responsible
for ensuring the provision of a universal postal service that meets users’ needs.
I note Ofcom’s recently published discussion document setting out potential options
to reform the service, reflecting changing market conditions and consumers’ needs.
All those with an interest in postal services may submit responses to Ofcom’s call
for inputs (<a href="http://www.ofcom.org.uk/consultations-and-statements/category-1/the-future-of-the-universal-postal-service"
target="_blank">www.ofcom.org.uk/consultations-and-statements/category-1/the-future-of-the-universal-postal-service</a>).</p><p><strong>
</strong></p><p>The Government will consider any recommendations that Ofcom puts forward,
but Ministers are not currently minded to introduce new legislation to change the
current obligations on postal deliveries.</p>
