Brown Budget - A Boost For Power
A piece in the Guardian Unlimited provides some interesting budget coverage of the Government’s plans to sell most of its assets in the state owned nuclear energy industry. This is part of a wider plan to raise £50bn. I am not sure if this is good news or not. Firstly to whom will the assets be sold ? Secondly have we really seen improvements in the UK’s infrastructure - gas, electricity and water since privatisation under Margaret Thatcher and the great sell off from that period ? Are Labour and Conservative policies converging ?
