Proceeding contribution from Lord McKenzie of Luton (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 do not want to end on a point of confrontation, but Clause 24 says: ""The Secretary of State must consult the trustee of the RMPP before making—""(a) an order under section 16 which contains provision establishing a new""public scheme … or""(b) any order under any other provision of this Part"." The idea is embodied there, and we need to take the opportunity to flesh out the process of all that. I am happy to work with my noble friend to do that. There is a requirement in the Bill at the moment, and I urge him not to overlook that fact.
