HL Deb 24 September 2002 vol 638 c246WA
Lord Laird

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether the postal authorities propose to celebrate the four-hundredth anniversary of the joining of the crowns of Scotland and England in 2003. [HL5440]

Lord Sainsbury of Turville

It has been the practice of successive governments that decisions relating to the day-to-day running of Consignia and its units, including the Royal Mail and its stamp programme, are the responsibility of Consignia's management. As the noble Lord's Question relates to a matter for the company, I have asked Consignia's chief executive to reply direct.
