Following recent Government approval for the introduction of postcode, my officials and I are now working to address the next steps in this project, including the selection of a body to implement the proposed system. Provision for postcodes will be made from within my Department's multi-annual capital budget and will be subject to agreement with the Minister for Finance. As Minister with responsibility for policy and legislation in the postal sector, I meet representatives from the industry on an ongoing basis to exchange views. These meetings can cover the full range of postal issues, including postcodes.
