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

I am much reassured by what the Secretary of State is saying. Further to my earlier intervention, I am merely seeking reassurance that the access agreements between the new Royal Mail and its competitors will be set in a regulatory framework that gives it a fair crack of the whip when negotiating the terms and the price. Under the present arrangement, Royal Mail is clearly, in effect, subsidising its competitors because it is delivering their mail.
