Proceeding contribution from Geoffrey Clifton-Brown (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 February 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Royal Mail.
Royal Mail
Will the Minister accept that as Royal Mail is currently wholly publicly owned, if it is going to make important changes involving the loss of jobs, it should consult the public properly? It proposes to close a sorting office at Wotton-under-Edge, a small market town in my constituency in which the sorting office is a major employer. Royal Mail has refused to attend any public meetings or give a business case. Does the Minister not believe that it has an obligation to explain to my constituents why it is making such a change?
