The company has called on the advisors to the consortium to draw up a single proposal to be sent to shareholders. But chairman Sir John Cuckney said the board would not comment on the proposal although it would give an appraisal to shareholders before they had to decide. The move is certain to please Defence Secretary Michael Heseltine who has consistently backed the European plan. * HOLIDAYS GALORE! * 580
