Do you agree with the 2007 Quirk Report, chaired by the Chief Executive of Lewisham Borough Council, which recommended to the Government accelerating the transfer of public assets to community organisations, including community land trusts? Will you be maximising the scope for these transfers with land owned by the LDA?

This whole idea of giving money to academies was one of the Mayor's. He brought it up at a party conference - Tory Party conference - last year and it was also in his Time for Action, his report on youth violence. Now, I just cannot see how this is any different from all the accusations against Ken Livingstone [former Mayor of London]. This is an idea the Mayor has had. It is not part of the LDA's role.

Can I clarify; you commented on the voting record, however my understanding is that although...

It does leave the question hanging in the air; what on earth is the point of having any sort of strategy or corporate social responsibility and ethical policy if you are not going to implement it by choosing between companies? Let me go back to your answer about the arms trade and tobacco. You say at the moment you are not big investors in them. It is my question you are probably answering later. In that case, why not take a principled stance and stop investing. There must be thousands upon thousands of people who are pension holders who would...
