Proceeding contribution from Lord Lea of Crondall (Labour) 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]

I am very disappointed that two-thirds of the Minister’s reply was to something which is not part of Amendment 9, which stands on its own and has been degrouped. Confusingly, a lot of other material is being replied to. I am talking about a partnership with the workforce. I invite my noble friend to correct herself in writing if she denies that "partnership" is used in the Hooper report in relation to partnership with the workforce. I shall not divide the Chamber on this occasion, but if no progress is made on Report, I probably shall. Amendment 9 withdrawn. Amendment 10 not moved. Clause 4 : Meaning of "Royal Mail company" Amendments 11 and 12 not moved. Clause 4 agreed. Amendment 13 not moved.
