In a written Tynwald question, Douglas North MHK John Wannenburgh asked Chair of the Post Office Stu Peters how many tracked postal items, sent via the Post Office, have been recorded as lost in each of the last two years.

He also asked what is the total compensation paid in each year for these items.

In 2025/26, 66 tracked items were lost with £6,360.65 in compensation paid out
