Home Retail has confirmed it is in advanced discussions to sell its Homebase arm to Australia's Wesfarmers Limited for A 340m cash, possibly paving the way for suitor Sainsbury's to swoop again for the company's Argos business. Home Retail, which rejected a takeover offer from Sainsbury's in November but remains a target for the grocer, said it had begun discussion with Perth-based Wesfarmers in September and received a firm offer letter in November.
