NEWS This is the second time the Lords have rejected the sell-off of NATS, this one coming just days before the Transport Bill is due to be included in the Queen's speech. The government wants to raise £1bn for technology improvement to NATS by selling the system off to a public-private partnership. Bill Semple, MD of NATS, hopes the proposed privatised company would become a supplier of air traffic control technology to the developing world. Labour plans to put forward an amendment that will reinstate the sell-off in time for the Queen's speech on 6 December.
