Proceeding contribution from Andrew George (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 27 October 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Postal Services Bill.
Postal Services Bill
The Secretary of State will be aware that people in west Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly are reassured that the universal service obligation will be retained. However, the access arrangements that were agreed, with regulatory intervention from Postcomm, have left Royal Mail in the very weak position of delivering letters for its competitors at a price that, frankly, undermines its commercial viability. I note that clause 48 addresses this issue, but can he reassure me that Royal Mail will have a far better crack of the whip when those terms are negotiated?
