Proceeding contribution from Simon Hughes (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 February 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Royal Mail.


Royal Mail

May I reinforce what my hon. Friend is saying? I have talked to people who work for Royal Mail in a big sorting office just over the bridge near my constituency. When I have put to them the alternatives—another private sector company coming in with a minority shareholder, or the workers having shares and ownership—it is blindingly obvious which of those alternatives has the better chance of securing a good working relationship, and it is not the first.
