Proceeding contribution from Mike Weir (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 February 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Royal Mail.
Royal Mail
I understand what the Minister is saying about the USO, and I agree with him, but the problem is that even the management of Royal Mail have made noises to the effect that they would like to change the USO. Indeed, they have tried to do so through zonal pricing, which was, thankfully, rejected. What guarantees do we have that, if Royal Mail is part privatised, the private company will not seek changes to the USO?
