Proceeding contribution from Mike Weir (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 12 January 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Postal Services Bill.


Postal Services Bill

The hon. Gentleman makes a reasonable point. The problem is that it is not at all clear what mutuality means. If I understood the Minister correctly in Committee, what is being mutualised is not the post office network, but Post Office Ltd—the management of the Post Office—so the individual post offices would not be in a mutual network, but continue as individual businesses. I struggle to see how that is going to improve the situation.
