Proceeding contribution from Lord Young of Norwood Green (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 6 April 2011. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Postal Services Bill.

Postal Services Bill

I felt that the Minister’s comments were helpful. He has agreed to take away some issues, which would be useful. He stressed the importance of ensuring that competition does not undermine the universal service provision or the role of the universal service provider. It is important to hear those remarks and to have them put on the record. I also welcome the response that he made to the amendment spoken to by my noble friend Lord Brooke. Reserving the right to look carefully at the record and at any further correspondence from the Minister, as well as amendments that may come on Report, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 24GC withdrawn. Amendment 24GD Moved by
