Mandelson 'frank' on Royal Mail

Lord Mandelson has described Royal Mail's situation as "very serious", saying previous government efforts to help the business "frankly have not succeeded".He told Andrew Marr the organisation desperately needed modernisation, and the government's plans were "a much better deal... than anything any alternative government would offer."
