Proceeding contribution from Viscount Thurso (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 February 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Royal Mail.
Royal Mail
Absolutely, and I would ask the Minister to ensure that there was a clear, transparent contract between the two entities. I am trying to draw his attention to the fact that it seems extremely difficult for an organisation that has taken in private equity to own part of another organisation that is said to be wholly in the public sector. I do not believe that an organisation can be wholly in the public sector if it is part of a group that has a minority stake from somewhere else.
