Proceeding contribution from Lord Deben (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 February 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Royal Mail.


Royal Mail

Does the hon. Gentleman agree that even if the Government took the route that he is suggesting, and certainly if they took what appears to be their own preferred route, it could not be said that the Post Office would become a publicly owned company in the sense that it is now? Surely it is to misuse words to suggest to Labour Back Benchers that they are not telling the truth when they say that this is a partial privatisation or a partial mutualisation.
