Proceeding contribution from Alan Reid (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 am grateful to the hon. Gentleman for giving way again. I reinforce my earlier point that I am concerned that if the USO for parcels is not extended to six days a week, parcels will not be delivered in the highlands and islands on Saturdays. As he said, the delivery of parcels in response to internet selling is such an important growth area that the highlands and islands would miss out if parcels were not delivered on Saturdays.
