§ 17. Mr. Foulkesasked the Secretary of State for Transport what progress has been made in privatisation of the assets of British Transport Hotels.
§ Mr. FowlerI told the House on 3 June about the railways board's proposal to dispose of three of its Scottish hotels to a new company in which British Transport Hotels would take a one-third shareholding.—[Vol. 5, c. 912–13]. I welcome the success which these proposals have since had, and I look forward to receiving further proposals from the board in due course.
