Mark Pritchard (The Wrekin, Conservative)
Will the Leader of the House join me in thanking all the postmen and postwomen who have worked so hard to deliver residential and business post during the period of bad weather? May we have a debate on Royal Mail and the provision of 4X4 vehicles for rural areas, which would enable parts of Shropshire that have not received their post to start to receive it if the snow continues?

Andrew Lansley (South Cambridgeshire, Conservative)
I share my hon. Friend’s appreciation of the postal service. My constituents and I have experienced no interruption in mail deliveries, which is important and welcome, and I congratulate Royal Mail on its work. I will ask the Under-Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, my hon. Friend Jo Swinson whether the Department, or indeed Royal Mail itself, could tell my hon. Friend a little more about how Royal Mail is equipping itself to ensure that deliveries are not interrupted.

Just wait and see how happy they and their constituents are after Royal Mail is privatised :dcfo :ncfo :vcfo

4 x 4's aren't magical bits of equipment,it takes a lot of knowledge to be able to use them properly,also they need suitable tyres,in fact they can install a false sense of confidence in the driver and they can end up in a whole heap of trouble,the mp would be better off making sure the council clear the roads.
