1985 newspaper clippings about Laker Airways dispute stalling British Airways privatisation and sale delays

Two newspaper clippings from March 1985 documenting the legal dispute between Laker Airways and British Airways that delayed BA's privatisation. The articles detail how Sir Freddie Laker's conspiracy case against BA and other airlines stalled the government's planned sell-off of the state airline, with negotiations extending the settlement deadline to allow time for talks with American export credit bank Exim.
