The detailed background and supporting case for this move was set out in the policy statement we published on 18 November.</p><br /><p>Decisions on the proposed sale are being taken in accordance with best practice to ensure all available options are properly examined in a detailed business case and that a robust valuation process is followed. We expect taxpayers to gain a receipt to the public purse from a majority sale of GIB, and to benefit from reduced public funding requirements in future.</p><br /> answering member constituency Broxtowe answering member printed Anna Soubry question first answered 27/01/2016 16:23:26 answering member 3938 label Biography information for Anna Soubry
