The majority of MPs voted not to require at least five years to pass after the Bill enabling the privatisation of Royal Mail comes into effect before the minimum requirements of a universal postal service can be reviewed by the regulator Ofcom.
The amendment rejected in this vote:
- Amendment proposed: 23, page 18, line 25, after second 'time', insert 'but not before the date five years after this Part comes into force'
This would take effect on Clause 33(1) of the Bill[2] which at the time of the vote stated:
