10. As the draft paper says, the master plan consultancy did not

go to the German group. There were three short-listed consortia :

British Airports International Ltd (BAI) jointly owned by British

Airports Authority (BAA) and International Aeradio Ltd (IAL);

Parsons Overseas (American-owned with involvement by the British

Civil Aviaiton Authority); and another American group. The

consultancy was awarded to Parsons. Apparently the BAI presentation

was not a great success. This is a disappointment but there will,

of course, still be important opportunities for British firms after

the consultancy is complete, eg in air traffic control equipment.
