Northern Rock refuses to rule out sale or flotation
Northern Rock has refused to rule out a sale or a flotation and says that ``all options are being explored'' for the society to return to the private sector, with no deadline set for the de-nationalisation of the mortgage lender.
NORTHERN ROCK is to be sold off by the end of the year under a fast-track government plan to start clawing back some of the hundreds of billions of pounds of taxpayers' money ploughed into the banking sector.
