Foreign And Commonwealth Office Diplomatic Bag Service

EDM number 537 in 2004-05, proposed by John McDonnell on 18/01/2005.

That this House notes with great concern recent press reports which indicate that the Foreign and Commonwealth Office is planning to privatise the Diplomatic Bag Service; considers that this will place the security of documents sent by the Government at greater risk of unauthorised access; believes in these times of heightened national security that the public sector has a proven track record of delivering an effective efficient service; and urges the Government to reconsider seriously this proposal and abandon all plans to hand over control of the Diplomatic Bag Service to the private sector.

This motion has been signed by a total of 114 MPs.
