Recognition of Royal Mail Staff

That this House expresses its gratitude for the hard work of Royal Mail's postal workers in helping to ensure that people, communities and businesses stay connected during the covid-19 pandemic; recognises the important role Royal Mail is playing in the delivery of important parcels, letters, medical prescriptions and NHS appointments to a nation in lockdown; congratulates Royal Mail on being chosen as a key partner in the delivery and return of covid019 tests for NHS and social care frontline staff; and expresses support for the initiative to show appreciation for local posties by giving them a thumbs-up from a safe two metre distance to respect social distancing rules, as a simple way to say thank you to local postal workers for their valiant work carried out in the most difficult of times.
