Email: Asset transfer

Published: Thursday, 02 February 2012

Might people consider some detailed analysis of this 'asset' transfer?

The valuation of the £460m of assets was done by Grant Thornton according to 'red-book' rules. Why not Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors themselves?

Has anyone considered approaching Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors for its 'red-book' valuation of the list of assets that make up this £460m?

Also, is a good parliamentarian starting point Mr Benyon and Ms Spelman's constituency, to see how robust the waterway infrastructure is in their areas?

I was amazed to find out about the 'pubs' débâcle. Who would buy into 'tied-trade' pubs when the breweries were getting out? The point is, are these pubs in this bundle of £460m of assets?

Now I believe it was all liquidated in 2011. No reference in the British Waterways accounts though.
