Royal Mail could be allowed to scrap Saturday post deliveries, as part of an Ofcom review into how the postal service may need updating.
The regulator is set to publish a document next week outlining options on how Royal Mail can “evolve to more closely meet consumer needs”.
However, Ofcom – which regulates the postal industry – says it is not commenting on what the options will be.

The business has been calling for urgent reform since 2020 and previously said it would like to go from delivering six days a week to five, from Monday to Friday only.
A spokesperson for Ofcom confirmed that it will publish evidence on “how the universal postal service might need to evolve to more closely meet consumer needs”.
“It would ultimately be for the UK government and Parliament to determine whether any changes are needed to the minimum requirements of the universal service,” they added.
Ofcom announced in September that it would look at evidence on how the universal service, which states letters must be delivered Monday to Saturday, may need to change to reflect how people now use the service.
