Mr. John Crawley:
I apologise for not having all the facts about the legal contracts on the property at the time. I am comfortable that they were tenants in situ. I will come back to the committee to clarify the wording around the exact legal form. We considered on its merits every asset we have sold since the dissolution of the authority. This is the only transaction in which we used this particular procurement route provided for in the code of governance. In each of the others, we offered them to the market on an open tender basis or an open sale basis. This is the only one for which we took this particular exemption provided for under the code.
