Rover’s future remains in doubt

NEGOTIATIONS to revive a rescue package for MG Rover are continuing as administrators continue to scrutinise the stricken company’s books.

It has emerged that the British government could investigate the lucrative top executive pay and pension packages at the ailing cargiant.

Chancellor Gordon Brown said there would “obviously” be inquiries into what had happened at the company since it was bought from BMW for a symbolic £10 in 2000.
