Proceeding contribution from Emily Thornberry (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 27 October 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Postal Services Bill.


Postal Services Bill

The right hon. Gentleman may be aware that my constituency includes the second largest sorting office in the world. The 2,000 employees there believe that they provide a universal service at a low price. The system is not broken, and they do not understand why it is being ““fixed”” by the attempt to privatise it. Why are we going ahead with this?
