Access To The Royal Mail Postcode Database (EDM2000)

Access To The Royal Mail Postcode Database

EDM number 2000 in 2008-09, proposed by Tom Watson on 12/10/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Postal services.

That this House notes with concern the attempts of Royal Mail to restrict access to the postcode database for not-for-profit web services; further notes with alarm that this heavy-handed approach has led to not-for-profit websites which seek to provide essential services to the public being left unable to function; and calls on the Government to ensure that the database is made freely available to anyone for not-for-profit use, thus enabling citizen-focused projects to flourish and innovate.

This motion has been signed by a total of 72 MPs.
