Proceeding contribution from Baroness Kramer (Liberal Democrat) 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

My Lords, does not the dispute that has just taken place make it clear that this House and the other place are not the appropriate organisations for detailed discussions on how to do a disposal of shares? Obviously there are many different views, but this is not the kind of issue that can be put in the Bill. The financial circumstances of the Royal Mail have to be considered, as have the financial markets and the trade buyers that may be available. There will be a wide range of issues. I agree with those who have criticised past sales.
