HC Deb 15 January 1986 vol 89 c580W
53. Mr. Gerald Howarth

asked the Secretary of State for Transport when he expects to be in a position to announce a timetable for the privatisation of British Airways.

Mr. Michael Spicer

The Government intend to privatise British Airways as soon as possible, but current litigation under US anti-trust law has to be settled before a timetable can be set.
