Postal Services Bill

Proceeding contribution from Nia Griffith (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 9 June 2011. It occurred during Debate on bills on Postal Services Bill.
I am sorry to stray away from the amendment, Madam Deputy Speaker, but I think it needs to be put on the record that our Bill, as it stood as Lord Mandelson was taking it through the other place, would clearly have kept Royal Mail in majority public ownership. That was written into the Bill, but it is not in the current Bill. We are talking about a totally different Bill that goes for 100% privatisation. They are two completely different scenarios and the amendments in the Bill arise largely from some of the situations created by that difference.
