SIR – The Green Party supports the campaign to keep the Royal Mail in public hands. A recent Sunday Times poll found that 70 per cent of the public are opposed to the privatisation of the Royal Mail, which made £403 million profit in the year to April 2013.

This is money that is funding our NHS and schools. The privatisation of Royal Mail is likely to worsen staff pay and conditions and cuts to services.

The Green Party supports the Communication Workers Union’s industrial and political fight against the sell-off.
