Proceeding contribution from Lord McKenzie of Luton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 20 April 2009. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Postal Services Bill [HL].

Postal Services Bill [HL]

I have not been involved in the detail on this but I have certainly been in the presence of the Secretary of State—I think that it may have been said in this very Chamber—when he has made it clear that he published the letter and did not leak it. He published it because he believed that it was a significant issue that should be taken account of in the deliberations that were then under way. I do not think that it is fair to attribute to my noble friend any underhand or devious motivation, which I do not believe was present.
