This Scheme has been prepared in accordance with Section 19 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and was approved by the Information Commissioner on 12 July 2004.

Public authorities are required to adopt and maintain a publication scheme setting out the classes of information it publishes or intends to publish as a matter of course, the manner in which this material is or will be made available, and whether or not a charge will be levied for the information. The purpose of a scheme is to ensure a significant amount of information is available, without the need for a specific request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

You may access the full Publication Scheme by clicking here. Other sections of this site provide further help and advice on requesting information and the Freedom of Information Act in general.

Consistent with the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, the Royal Mail group will publish all information that falls within the classes of information to this scheme (Annex 1 of PDF document).
