Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng has told the Royal Mail if Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky increases his shareholdings in the company above 25 percent he will face a national security investigation.

It comes as 115,000 postal workers went out on strike on Friday after the Royal Mail offered a 2 percent pay rise, which the Communication Workers Union (CWU) says is well below the rate of inflation.
