Proceeding contribution from Russell Brown (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 14 July 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Employment Bill [Lords].


Employment Bill [Lords]

I thank my hon. Friend for his intervention, and there is more than one question within it. He outlines the manner in which the Royal Mail deals with some of its work force, especially as they reach retirement age. It is a tragedy that in the 21st century we are forcing people to retire at what is seen as retirement age when, if people are fit and healthy, they want to be out and contributing to business life.
