Proceeding contribution from Lord Tunnicliffe (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]

The amendment that we are discussing makes no difference one way or other to that position. GLS will be part of the Royal Mail Group, as it is now, and that will be owned by the ultimate holding company. The powers with respect to GLS’s shares are unaffected by these provisions as far as I understand them. However, I shall write to the noble Lord to be more precise about the extent of their effect. Our position is unchanged from that which we set out in our policy statement with regard to GLS.
