Safeway Plc And Postage Stamps (EDM35)

Safeway Plc And Postage Stamps

EDM number 35 in 2000-01, proposed by David Heath on 06/12/2000.

That this House deeply regrets the decision of Safeway Plc to sell postage stamps at discounted prices during the pre-Christmas period as a loss leader; believes that, despite the attractions of cheaper postage at Christmas to consumers, this example of predatory pricing will greatly damage the profitability of sub-post offices and other independent retailers already facing difficulties and in many cases closure; believe that postage stamps issued by the Royal Mail should be sold and retailed at standard rates of purchase price and discount so as not to encourage such abuses by large retailers; and calls on the management of Royal Mail and the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry to better protect the interests of small retailers and sub-post offices.

This motion has been signed by a total of 45 MPs.
