All true......... As has been said read it and weep.
What is also within the same document is the REAL reason behind PPP.
The newly elected government in 1997 inherited the spending plans of the previous TORY administration. Gordon ("Prudence") Brown would not alter these spending plans under any circumstances. They included receipts of £500million for the sale of NATS, a TORY policy, not a Labour one (remember "our air is not for sale"?!!!) Hence the REAL reasonm PPP was pushed through. ( the sale of NATS eventually realised c. £750 million for HMG)
Nothing to do with future investment. Nothing to do with raising cash for NATS. All to do with political expedient.
This is the same document that says that NATS at Swanwick will only be "10-15" ATCOs short at Swanwick next summer, without explaing how this "miracle" is to be achieved. Make no mistake Swanwick will be desperately short next summer, regardless.
Isn't it about time that the TRUTH be told?
