Proceeding contribution from Lord Mandelson (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 31 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 a member of the Government, not the management of Royal Mail, and it is not my job or the job of any other Minister to be responsible for the introduction of such machinery or to put a price tag on it. That is what the management of Royal Mail is there to do. As shareholders, however, we would like the management to be able to manage in a way that allows it to progressively introduce this machinery and mechanisation in a way that transforms the business of the Royal Mail and its ability to compete properly in the market.
