§ Mr. David MitchellWe have received several representations from private sector companies seeking414W involvement in British Transport Advertising Limited and from members of staff about possible purchase of BTA and the implications for them if BTA is sold to the private sector. British Rail and the National Bus Company are in the lead in considering the future of BTA. I understand that they intend to invite competitive bids for the whole of the current business.
