Mr Barry Sheerman (Huddersfield) (Lab/Co-op)
Will the Secretary of State comment on what many of my very commonsensical constituents are saying? They are saying that they used to own Royal Mail and now only a very few people own it. Many of these voters are former Liberal Democrat voters. They are asking: when did the Liberal Democrats become so converted to this cause, and, if Goldman Sachs and others made such a hash of the advice, can they get their money back?

Actually, I made the argument for bringing private capital into Royal Mail about 10 years ago.
