HC Deb 19 October 1988 vol 138 c940W
Mr. Pawsey

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will set out the programme for the disposal of Scottish Bus Group subsidiaries, providing, where known, the proposed timetable for disposal.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

My right hon. and learned Friend hopes soon to announce the detailed pattern of privatisation in terms of the units to be offered for sale. It is not possible in advance of the necessary legislation to say when sales will begin.
