The Alfred Beit Foundation is an independent trust and I cannot instruct it on how to do its business. As I said, the memorandum and articles of association make it clear that the trust is perfectly entitled to sell the assets of the foundation. I am disappointed that the sale cannot be, at the very least, delayed or deferred but, unfortunately, I cannot stop the sale. I have spoke to them.
