The Government announced an independent review of the UK postal services sector on the 17 December 2007. The independent panel comprised Richard Hooper CBE (Chair), Dame Deirdre Hutton and Ian Smith. The review looked at changes taking place in the postal and wider communications markets and what the implications of those changes were for the UK postal service, in particular the provision of the universal postal service.
The review published its final report to Ministers on the 16 December 2008 ("Modernise or Decline: Policies to maintain the universal postal service in the United Kingdom"). Before that the review published its initial response to evidence relating to it's first two terms of reference on the 6 May 2008.
The review panel were very grateful to all those who took the time to respond and contribute to the review process.
