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

Competition exists in the postal service, and it will not go away and cannot be wished away. I want a Royal Mail that is fit to win in that market, rather than one that simply wishes competition to go away. The most fundamental challenge to Royal Mail is not competition from other mail companies but competition from other communications technologies. That must lie at the heart of the response to the threatened dispute.
