Proceeding contribution from David Leslie Taylor (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 February 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Royal Mail.
Royal Mail
I am not sure whether my right hon. Friend was at the Labour party conference 20 weeks ago. It passed a policy supporting a wholly publicly owned Royal Mail, and that was strongly endorsed by my right hon. Friend the Member for Barrow and Furness (Mr. Hutton), who is not known for an aversion to dallying with the private sector. Does the Minister not accept that if a wholly publicly owned Royal Mail was a partly privatised organisation, that would be not only oxymoronic but like being a little bit pregnant?
