 The most ambitious government privatization in a generation.After 500 years in business, shares in the Royal Mail could be in the hands of investors1 within weeks. And the company is suddenly worth 3 billion pounds. The chancellor2 says that’s good for growth. 

 
-this is all about trying to get more investment into the Royal Mail, so we have a brilliant service for hard-working people all across the country, and businesses who rely on the Royal Mail.
 
-These British gas shares, did you know they’ll be publishing prospectors3 on November 25th?
 
Back in the heady days of the 1980s, the conservatives sold off big companies like British gas, bit by bit, but even then, Margaret Thatcher4 said the Royal Mail was off limits. 
 
Our increasing demands for parcel deliveries means Royal Mail needs more investment to compete. So free from state control, it would raise money in the financial markets. It will also cut costs. It worries some workers that depend on the business.
 
- If Royal Mail were privatized, it would become a commercial company for commercial interests, which will cause, may cause some stakes walk away from post offices,  which will cause us to lose money, and make our post services unavailable.
 
As a deal sweetener, 125,000 Royal Mail staff will receive free shares worth 10% of the business, that's worth about 2000 pounds each, and for just 750 pounds, Members of the Public can also subscribe5 for shares, still unions are angry about cuts to pay and pensions, they plan to push for a nationwide strike.  
 
-We will be balloting6 for strike actually within the next 2 weeks, over the impacts of the privatization on our member's job security in terms of conditions over paying pensions, we are absolutely clear that this is not being done this government planned to privatize Royal Mail in the interest of customers. 
 
TNT is a private post service, and a rival to Royal Mail, it doesn't deliver universal service, and the worry is Royal Mail won't either. 
 
-Those services should be provided, it's the right of all of us to receive  postal deliveries wherever we live. Those should be provided, but the losses should be given to whoever has to provide that service, but that doesn't mean the market should be state-owned. It doesn't mean the market shouldn't be competitive. It just means those services should be identified and whoever has to provide those services should be recompensed for the losses of providing them.
 
So while the world’s oldest post service is set to be sold, as a separate brand, the post office stays under government control, for now.
