crash2006 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Britain’s leading energy suppliers have been approached by government advisers to sound out interest in its 35.2 per cent stake in British Energy, which is valued at £2bn-plus.The government has mandated UBS to help with a potential sale process, while British Energy has appointed NM Rothschild as its adviser. Eon and RWE of Germany, Électricité de France, Iberdrola of Spain and Centrica of the UK have all been asked if they would be interested in acquiring part of the stake, people close to the situation said. haha either they are idiots or about to create a massive tax raid. function floatContent(){} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pindar Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 It's great to see the spirit of thatcherism selling the family silver again in times of desperation. Looks like joe public won't be getting a look-in this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
