Our MP voted "yes" Maggi, you do realise the vote was on whether to have a rethink on the sell-off. Your MP voted to have a rethink. It wasn't a vote on whether to have the sell off. So your MP voted the 'right' way. The big vote on going ahead with the sell off will come after the government's so-called consultation.
Gerry apparently my MP was absent ,WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
Probably far to busy preparing his expenses claim to bother attending
There can still sell off 15% every 4 years http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-12488847 down the bottom

It is reported (by Reuters) that this sale has been put on hold while ministers "review the criteria for the sale" (whatever this means). The proposed 15% sale is quite distinct from, (& I believe predates), the proposal for the massive sell-off which would have required new legislation.
