Postcomm: Public Appointments
Business, Innovation and Skills
Written answers and statements, 7 July 2010


Caroline Lucas (Brighton, Pavilion, Green)

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills what assessment he has made of the extent to which the appointment of Jenny Block as Postcomm's legal director complies with Article 22 of the Postal Services Directive on the independence of national regulatory authorities from postal operators; and if he will make a statement.

Postcomm was established under the Postal Services Act 2000 as the independent regulator of the postal sector.

All of Postcomm's directors have declared and published their interests on its website:

Where there is a possible conflict of interest associated with any appointments made by Postcomm, appropriate procedures are put in place to deal with the potential conflict.

As a non-ministerial Department (NMD), Postcomm has direct responsibility for its administration and staffing. I have therefore asked the chief executive of Postcomm, Tim Brown, to provide a fuller reply to the hon. Member. A copy of the reply will be placed in the Libraries of the House.

So the people who give her a fat salary get their cash from postal operators ,and they kindly agree to let her out on secondment to the UK postal regulator that draws up the regulations for the UK postal market.
How incredibly public spirited of them
