Proceeding contribution from Lord Clarke of Hampstead (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]
With the greatest of pleasure. Am I to understand from the Minister’s reply that there is no suggestion that GLS or a parcel business is being prepared for sale to another company offshore; namely, TNT? That is the rumour that I am asking him to dispel so that people can go about their business without worrying about the Dutch coming along—they have their own problems as has been mentioned. If the Dutch post office is going to be encouraged to take that profitable part of the Post Office’s business, it would be a big psychological blow to people in the industry.
