Proceeding contribution from Bob Russell (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 12 January 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Postal Services Bill.

Postal Services Bill

I cannot comment on the body language in Committee because I was not there. I tabled the new clause, which, if passed, will deal with the hon. Gentleman's fears. It is as simple as that. The new clause would protect the post office network from the IBA's possible erosion by a privatised Royal Mail. Ministers might feel differently, but we must ask ourselves why Royal Mail is being privatised. Indeed, successive Governments have argued the same points over the past 30 years.
