Postal Services Bill

With respect to the Minister, this is not about setting things in aspic. The problem is that there is a great deal of uncertainty, because the Royal Mail is up for privatisation, the link between the Royal Mail and Post Office Ltd now relies on the good will of whoever runs Royal Mail, and with no guarantee of business it is difficult for those trying to sell post offices to find people to take them on, as they are uncertain of what business there will be in one or two years' time.
