Answers on a postcard
Sir: Perhaps I can set you a friendly chal- lenge? You say (City and Suburban, 23 April) that my primary purpose in life is the search for a weekly headline — and that many of my announcements do not survive the initial headlines.
I'd like to take issue with you on this. We have a press office to promote our new business ventures in order to help make them work. I cannot think of any business ventures we have promoted that we have either not yet begun or are not about to begin. Can you please give me some exam- ples?
Tony Banks and three other Labour MPs condemned our plans for County Hall (I assume for a different reason from your- self). Could you let me know what it is you dislike about what we plan and, perhaps more importantly, what you'd rather we (or someone else) used it for?
