Proceeding contribution from Pat McFadden (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 16 December 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Royal Mail.
Royal Mail
I cannot accept that the Government have weakened the Royal Mail. We have lent the company money to make new acquisitions, and put up money to support the pension fund and to finance modernisation. But that process has not proceeded quickly enough in the face of the challenges that the company is facing. Today's report concludes that new entrants are not the primary problem for the Royal Mail—new technology is.
