Proceeding contribution from Mike Weir (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 27 October 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Postal Services Bill.
Postal Services Bill
I remind the hon. Gentleman that in the summer his Business Secretary said that the service might go down to five days a week, so he recognises that it might be reduced. He also said that European regulations rightly ask only for a five day a week service. Any privatised service will inevitably want to cut costs and there will be pressure on the Government to allow that.
