§ Lord Gainfordasked Her Majesty's Government:
What plans they have to sell PSA Projects by single tender.
§ The Minister of State, Department of the Environment (Baroness Blatch)There is no truth in the rumours that PSA Projects is about to be sold by single tender. A prospective purchaser has indicated that an unsolicited bid may be made for Projects shortly. If that happens, careful consideration will be given to the merits of launching a sale competition in the near future. In considering the sale timetable, we will want to take into account the need to ensure adequate staff consultation and competition.
