S1M-2975 Tommy Sheridan (Glasgow) (SSP) :  Post Office Privatisation—
That the Parliament supports the Communication Workers Union campaign
against privatisation of the Post Office and their lobby of the Scottish
Parliament planned for Thursday 25 April 2002; condemns the privatisation
of the Post Office being pursued by the New Labour government resulting in
thousands of post offices and depots closures and related job loss threats
amounting to 40,000, and resolves to put maximum pressure on Westminster to
halt the privatisation of the Post Office and to invest appropriately
instead in what is potentially a hugely efficient public service, deserving
of protection and promotion within the public sector.
