THUS SPOKE TO THE CHIEF SECRETARY, SIR DAVID FORD, ON 31 JULY. HE SAID THAT ALTHOUGH EXCO IS EXPECTED TO TAKE A DECISION ON 1 AUGUST, THE OUTCOME WAS BY NO MEANS CERTAIN. I MADE VARIOUS POINTS ON BEHALF OF BRITISH TELECOM WHICH HE SAID WOULD BE CONSIDERED AND I

HAVE PASSED THIS BACK TO BRITISH TELECOM.
