HC Deb 18 June 1998 vol 314 c316W
20. Mr. Leigh

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what plans she has to increase private sector involvement in the Post Office. [45071]

Mr. Ian McCartney

The review of options for giving the Post Office greater commercial freedom is considering the potential for the involvement of the private sector, for example through increased use of joint ventures. We plan to present our proposals to Parliament in the Autumn.
