ROYAL MAIL POSTAGE STAMP INCREASE BUSINESS CONCERN.SNP MP COMMENTS ON POSTAGE STAMP INCREASE.
YET ANOTHER BURDEN ON SCOTLAND'S SMALL BUSINESS.
Mike Weir MP, SNP Westminster Business and Enterprise spokesperson has expressed concern following the announcement that the cost of a postage stamp is to rise by 3p from April 2009. A first class stamp will now cost 39p with a second class stamp at 30p.
Commenting, Mr Weir said:
"This is yet another blow to Scotland's small businesses which will be felt as the recession really starts to bite.
"These are substantial increases which will hit those who rely on the Royal Mail - individuals and small businesses - very hard indeed.
"Those who do not have access to alternative carriers or bulk mailing arrangements will suffer as a direct result of this increase.
"Royal Mail should have been fighting for all the custom it can get, not driving folk away with eye-watering price hikes.
"I wonder if this is the first sour taste of the fruits of Lord Mandelson's labour at Royal Mail."
