Postal Services Bill

Proceeding contribution from Brian Binley (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 12 January 2011. It occurred during Debate on bills on Postal Services Bill.
I noted that the Minister said, ““I do not believe”” and not, ““It is a fact””. His not wishing to include this provision in the Bill is a matter of judgment, not a matter of law. May I add something on the matter of there being two independent businesses? In reality, the nation has a sizeable holding in them, so we are not quite talking about two businesses that are quoted on the open market. Would he therefore confirm that there is no legal reason why this arrangement cannot happen, even though it might be breaking new ground?
