Tuesday, 22 November 2005 |
SNP Holyrood Leader Nicola Sturgeon MSP has today welcomed the announcement by
German company E.ON that it will not make a bid for Scottish Power.
Ms
Sturgeon said:
"E.ON's announcement is good news for Scottish Power
employees, consumers and shareholders. Most of all it is good news for the
Scottish national interest.
"I hope that the Board of Scottish Power will
now resolve to keep the company independent for the long term and resist any
future bid in the same way that it has resisted this one."
