Business question from Alan Reid (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 July 2007. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

May we have an urgent statement on the postal workers’ dispute? The strike is causing great damage not only to Royal Mail but to small businesses and other people who are heavily dependent on Royal Mail. Management and the unions are not even talking to one another. Will the Government, as a matter of urgency, intervene in the dispute and get both sides round the negotiating table in meaningful talks? Perhaps it is time for a return to beer and sandwiches at No. 10.
