Clause 16 - Time orders
Consumer Credit Bill
2:30 pm

Gerry Sutcliffe (Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Employment Relations and Consumer Affairs), Department of Trade and Industry; Bradford South, Labour)
We have to be very careful. I understand that Opposition Members think that there may be something that they can tie on to here in terms of lack of clarity, but default notices have been sent by post for over 30 years. The hon. Gentleman probably will not know this, but in the last Parliament I was the Minister responsible for the Post Office, so I am well aware of issues relating to Royal Mail. I can say with deep sincerity that it is unfortunate that I do not have that responsibility now.
