Proceeding contribution from Lord Skelmersdale (Conservative) 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]

None the less, since this is not a trust-based scheme, does not the Secretary of State in a sense replace the trustees? I agree with the Minister that this should not be a trust-based scheme and indeed it is right that the Secretary of State should take full responsibility in this area. Here, I suspect, our opinions diverge substantially from those of the noble Lord, Lord Clarke, who no doubt has the opportunity right now to tell us just that.
