Tories urge Osborne to spend £25bn Royal Mail pension windfall

To smooth the way to Royal Mail’s privatisation, the £25bn pension fund is being transferred onto the Government’s books as an asset.

The ongoing pension obligation will be met from current revenue, ie taxation, and will not appear on the Government’s books as a liability.

How Robert Maxwell would have laughed.
