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]
It is not for me to perform the role of the Secretary of State in this debate, so I shall cease forthwith. However, I will offer an olive branch to the noble Lord, Lord Clarke, if between now and the next stage of the Bill he will supply me with, for example, the union briefs which he is clearly using and which I have not yet seen. I shall read them with great interest. As I said, ever since 1981, before I got involved with my mail-order firm, I have been interested in the Post Office. I have spoken for the Government on the Post Office in years gone by, and I shall retain my interest in it and its efficiency for a very long time—probably for as long as the mail continues to arrive. Having said that, of course I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 40B withdrawn.
