Proceeding contribution from Michael Connarty (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 12 January 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Postal Services Bill.


Postal Services Bill

What I am aware of is that the public purse supports an institution in the USA. If the Liberal Democrats in the Government are saying that they believe it best not to subsidise but to let the market rip, why do they talk about subsidising those 700 post offices that do not make any money? Is the Minister arguing for the withdrawal of the subsidy in the USA but not here? It does not make sense, and he knows it.
