Proceeding contribution from Russell Brown (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 27 October 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Postal Services Bill.
Postal Services Bill
I appreciate that the right hon. Gentleman now finds himself in coalition with the Conservatives. There is a pension fund with a substantial amount of money in it; I know there is a deficit, but will he give the House a guarantee that the coalition Government will not do what a previous Conservative Government did to the bus employees superannuation fund? Under Margaret Thatcher they took money from that pension fund, which the Labour Government later had to replace.
