Jim Shannon

Democratic Unionist Party — Strangford

Speaking in the House of Commons on 26 October 2026

Debate

Performance of Royal Mail

Contribution

I commend the hon. Member. Just last week we had a debate in Westminster Hall, and today hon. Members have a chance to ask the very same questions. What is happening to independent traders in my constituency, in Newtownards, Comber and the Ards peninsula? Delays are choking cash flow, ruining customer relationships and threatening their very survival. Royal Mail has got to grasp the nettle and get it right—now, not later.
