§ Mr. RidleyThe British Railways Board recently announced its intention of selling the whole of its interest in Sealink UK Ltd. and of selling the company as an entity. The board's merchant bankers, Morgan Grenfell and Co. Ltd., wrote to potential purchasers on 19 March seeking expressions of interest in the company. I am arranging for a copy of that letter to be placed in the Library.
