Commons ChamberI am well aware that the Labour Government sold a stake in NATS. I am talking about the Secretary of State’s predecessor’s proposal to sell all of it. It is a question of the Government retaining a stake. If she is willing to confirm that the Government will retain a stake, I will be happy to give way to her. She shakes her head.
Ownership is currently entirely within British hands. It is possible that that will no longer be the case if privatisation goes ahead.
