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]
With respect, I refer the noble Lord to Part 3 of the Bill, which describes the duty to secure the provision of a universal postal service. To do that, you need a Royal Mail that is efficient, competitive and dependable. It is precisely that objective that motivates the Government in introducing this legislation. When the noble Lord talks about failed attempts in the past to turn round the Royal Mail, he eloquently makes the case for the legislation.
