Proceeding contribution from Pat McFadden (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 20 October 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Royal Mail.


Royal Mail

It is absolutely not the case that the Government are washing their hands of this dispute. We remain in regular contact with the union and the management. Ministers have met union representatives twice in recent weeks, and we are also in regular contact with the management. As I said, ACAS is engaged and stands ready to help, but of course it is easier for it to play a constructive role if the threat of industrial action is lifted.
