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 thank the hon. Gentleman for his intervention, and in so doing I return to the confusion about post offices and Royal Mail. If we get confused in this debate, we can understand why the general public are confused too. He is absolutely right that 97% of sub-post offices are not owned by the Government. We are not talking about them—we are talking about Royal Mail and how privatisation and whatever measures and aspects of the Bill are introduced will assist post offices and Royal Mail and its workers.
