Myners to lead review of IPOs managed by UK government

Review follows critical National Audit Office report earlier this year

Lord Paul Myners, the former City Minister, is to lead a new review for business secretary Vince Cable into how the government handles the stock-market listing of privatised state assets, following criticism of the price at which Royal Mail was sold last year.

The project, described by the government on Wednesday as an "informal review", is set to conduct its work over the summer.
