Proceeding contribution from Alistair Carmichael (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 20 October 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Royal Mail.


Royal Mail

What can the Minister do to ensure that the haemorrhaging of business from private businesses, to which he referred, does not spread to the public sector?
