§ Mr. HainTo ask the President of the Board of Trade what account he is taking of the criticisms made by the National Audit Office over the sale of Girobank in his consideration of the future of Parcelforce and the Post Office.
§ Mr. LeighI have noted the comments made by the National Audit Office, and in particular its conclusion that a successful sale of Girobank was eventually achieved. I look forward to reading the report from the Public Accounts Committee in due course.
