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


Royal Mail

Let me talk about the politics. The right hon. and learned Member for Rushcliffe (Mr. Clarke) was—as always—brutally honest about his failures as a Minister. He was not able to deliver private capital to Royal Mail when he was responsible for postal affairs: he said quite clearly that he was overruled by Margaret Thatcher.
