I remind the witnesses of two of my questions that were not answered; I am not inventing new ones. One was about compulsory purchase and whether local authorities have that power and the other was about the docklands. Foreign investment funds obviously have bought a lot of land there on which they are eager to put high-end offices, as is the National Asset Management Agency, NAMA. Do local authorities have the right or the wherewithal to insist on more residential units if they come seeking high-end offices?
