Proceeding contribution from Lord Swinfen (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 14 March 2011. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Postal Services Bill.
Postal Services Bill
Apart from Royal Mail, there are a number of other providers of postal services, none of which produces a universal postal service. They all rely on Royal Mail to deliver the last mile, particularly in remote areas. We need something in the Bill, and I would like the Minister to tell the House how a universal postal service will be ensured by someone taking over Royal Mail. If she cannot, she must bring something forward on Report to ensure that. Otherwise, this Bill is not satisfactory.
