Philippines' San Miguel says considering bid for Britain's United Biscuits

MANILA, Sept 10 (Reuters) - The Philippines' most diversified conglomerate San Miguel Corp is considering making a bid for British snacks maker United Biscuits (IPO-UNI (Other OTC: CEMTY - news) .L), its chief executive said on Wednesday.

Days after the group bowed out of the airline business, chief executive Ramon Ang confirmed in a text message that San Miguel was weighing up a bid for United Biscuits, owner of snack brands such as Jaffa Cakes and Twiglets. (Reporting by Rosemarie Francisco; Editing by Stephen Coates)
