No spivs or speculators this time?

Come on, Mr Salmond! You're slipping. Another company with a Scottish headquarters bites the dust and you have nothing to say? The Guardian reports:

Britain's plans for a new generation of nuclear power stations received a major boost this morning when French energy giant EDF finally agreed to buy British Energy in a £12.4bn deal.
Taxpayers will also get a windfall as the government owns 36% of British Energy having stepped in to rescue the firm in 2002.

British Energy's HQ is in East Kilbride.
