FUTURE OF THE POST OFFICE

Early day motion 2301, tabled 21 October 2008 by John McDonnell (Labour). Signed by 46 members.

That this House notes with concern press reports that the Secretary of State for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform may be considering part-privatisation of the Post Office; believes that this goes against past Government assurances; considers that this would undermine the Post Office as a public service; and calls upon the Government to reject this proposal.
