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]

I was about to apologise for not answering those questions. I cannot recite that level of detail. I believe that we have reassuring answers for all of them but, because they are so precise and so important, it will be much more satisfactory if I write to the noble Lord and copy the letter to other Members of the Committee. We will reflect on what the noble Lord said about consultation, but in my experience the consultation requirements in TUPE work very well. I have been involved in them in my own business and they have been around for some time. I believe that they are of sufficient depth. I hope that the noble Lord will come to that conclusion.
