We have stripped ourselves lown to a lean and hungry ondition," said Sir Robert, lthough, L was pleased to ibserve, he showed no sign of laving joined the cult of the iunger-strikers. He was "very iappy" about the Government's itention to retain only a minor hareholding in the new Jational Freight Co but was inable to say more than that ,hares would be issued to the rublic only when the Governnent thought the moment vas propitious. When that vould was anyone's guess. Did Sir Robert expect staff below management level to take up shares, I asked. He was noncommittal but said the staff had shown interest. Nevertheless, most people were, he thought, reluctant to put their hands into their pockets.
have noticed no shortage of people who are willing to dip their hands into their pockets to indulge in gambles far less worthy and with far longer odds than the NEC offers. Surely any sensible person would welcome the chance to share in the profits of his or her company and be able to influence them.
