HC Deb 16 October 1995 vol 264 c68W
Ms Walley

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what proposals he has to privatise the national air traffic services; and what is the timetable for the proposed sale. [36681]

Mr. Norris

The Secretary of State for Transport announced in November 1994 that the Government continued to favour privatisation of the national air traffic services in principle but that further work was needed on a number of important issues. We are currently considering the further work that has been done. I hope that we shall be in a position to make an announcement about the direction of NATS later in the year.
