LONDON (Reuters) - The British government on Monday approved Indian group Bharti Global's purchase of a 24.5% stake in London-listed BT, following some assurances from the telecoms company.
BT will establish a national security committee within the company to oversee "strategic work that it performs which has an impact on or is in respect of the national security" of the country, the government said in a statement.
