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

Royal Mail does not have a monopoly, and that is the point that I am making. It operates in a competitive environment, and if a strike goes ahead, those who can use alternatives will be more likely to do so. That will be damaging for Royal Mail and it will also damage those who work for it. That is why a strike would be self-defeating, and we should do all that we can to avoid it.
