Abolition of postal delivery on Saturday Legislative amendment Ordinary submission at the Diet January 17, 13:12

Regarding the proposed amendment to the law necessary to abolish postal delivery on Saturday, Minister of Finance Takaichi should consider that Japan Post Group should concentrate on improving operations and responding to customers in response to the issue of inappropriate sales of Japan Post Insurance. He said he would not submit a bill at the regular Diet meeting convened on the 20th of next week.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications has decided to abolish the delivery of regular mail on Saturdays, excluding express delivery and Yu-Pack, in order to provide a stable postal service in the future.

In a press conference after the Cabinet meeting, Minister Takaichi stated in a press conference, "We had administrative sanctions against Japan Post and Japan Post last December. I want you to be thorough in responding to this. "

Minister Takaichi said, "For the time being, it is necessary to receive a quarterly report on the status of business improvement and scrutinize the details, and we will not submit bills in such a situation." The General Assembly, convened daily, has stated that it will forgo submission of a proposed amendment to the law.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications initially aimed to submit a proposal to amend this law to the extraordinary parliament last year, but due to improper sales of Japan Post Insurance, the submission has been rescheduled. .
