The Royal Mail said it is hoping to increase second class stamps by 53 per cent from 36p to 55p. The price of second class stamps would then rise further by inflation every year for seven years. There would be no limit on the price of a first class stamp, which currently costs 46p.
Royal Mail was responding to a proposal by Ofcom, lodged last October, to lift restrictions on the level at which it can set the price of stamps.
Ofcom had suggested Royal Mail could charge unlimited prices for first class stamps, and increase second class stamps from 36p to between 45p and 55p.

I don't understand the logic of second class stamps and post, it takes longer and the saving per stamp isn't much different.
Bit random for this thread though, but interesting to know!
