Since taking office, I have written to the chairman seeking the views of his board on the company's strategy and plans, including the questions of dividends, diversification, funding options and future ownership. Similar letters have been written to other chairmen of State companies in recent years. I await, with an open mind, the response of the chairman in due course.
