Proceeding contribution from Baroness Turner of Camden (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 thank my noble friend for that full response, and Members of the Committee who have participated and supported the amendment tabled on behalf of pensioners. I am glad to learn that, as the Minister says, the spirit of the amendment is fully accepted by the Government, and welcome all his assurances on that. I also agree with the noble Lord, Lord Neill, that the amendment is too modest. We should take that on board when we study what has been said in Hansard. It was quite a lot to take in and I would like to study it; I am sure that my noble friends would as well. In the mean time, however, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 40C withdrawn. Amendment 41 had been withdrawn from the Marshalled List.
