Proceeding contribution from Baroness Burt of Solihull (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

My understanding, on which I stand to be corrected, is that the problem is not that the two companies want to have an inter-business agreement—they are free to do that—but that EU rules prohibit Governments from intervening to ensure that an inter-business agreement is prescribed for a specific period. I believe that that is the problem with the new clause.
