Royal Mail has insisted it needs to “urgently” roll out changes that will see second-class post scrapped on Saturdays as it revealed postal targets were missed once again.

The group said 91.6% of second-class mail was delivered within three working days, while 77.5% of first-class post was delivered the next working day between September 29 and November 30.
