Postcomm consults on a new licence for Secured Mail Limited
13 January 2006
Postcomm today began a 30-day consultation on the proposed issue of a new long-term licence to Secured Mail Limited.
Under the new licensing framework that took effect from 1 January 2006, Secured Mail's licence would:
- allow it to provide all types of postal service;
- be issued for a rolling ten year period;
- require Secured Mail to comply with codes of practice on mail integrity (safety and security of the mail) and common operational procedures (designed to ensure the multi-operator market works well in practice).
The consultation document and proposed licence are on Secured Mail's consultation page. Printed copies are available from Postcomm at Hercules House, 6 Hercules Road, London, SE1 7DB. The closing date for responses is 12 February 2006.
