--Conservative Party chief executive Mick Davis is no longer
being considered for the role of chairman at mining company Rio

--Shareholders wrote to the Rio Tinto board saying Mr. Davis
would be unacceptable as chairman, partly due to his history as
chief executive of Xstrata and his track record of large takeovers,
says Sky, citing City sources.
--Rio Tinto refused to comment to Sky on its ongoing search for
a chairman to replace Jan du Plessis, who became chairman of BT at
the beginning of November.
