Proceeding contribution from Lord Hunt of Wirral (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 24 March 2009. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Postal Services Bill [HL].
Postal Services Bill [HL]
We have no present plans to increase the extent of the privatisation. I still await our debate on the very clauses to which the noble Lord referred. I have been restricting my remarks to just these two amendments. If he will allow me, I will return and properly answer his question when we debate the meaning of public ownership, privatisation and all those things. I am trying not to stray into that area. If I did, I would be criticised for making a Second Reading speech, which was the last thing on my mind. This has been a useful occasion. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 1 withdrawn. Amendment 2 not moved. House resumed.
