Business of the House: Post Office Card Account (13 Nov 2008)

“This is the right decision and thousands of people in my constituency who wrote to me about this issue—especially pensioners—will be delighted by the news. It is a pity that the Opposition were caught on the back foot and cannot even bring themselves to say that it is the right thing to do. I can think of other political parties that will have to pulp their literature on this subject.”

Written Answers — Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs: Western Sahara: Human Rights (13 Nov 2008)
