The East at Westminster - Is Land Power?
Sunday
17 March 2002, 1.00-1.30pm, 大象传媒 TWO (East)
In
this week聮s East at Westminster, reporter Andrew Sinclair asks
- "is land power?"
Lord
Leicester of Holkham Hall discusses whether he feels he has any
more power because he owns miles of countryside in Norfolk, and
how he feels the abolition of hereditary peers has affected things.
Guardian
writer George Monbiot talks about the legacy of land ownership and
how he feels it should be divided up, and the National President
of the Country Land and Business Association (CLA), Sir Edward Greenwell,
is in the studio to discuss the idea that land brings power.
Can
Ipswich re-launch itself as the latest e-commerce centre? The IP-City
initiative has been trying to get off the ground for around 18 months
now but does anyone know about it, and why won't some IT firms consider
moving their headquarters from Cambridge despite hugely reduced
rents and rates? Richard Bond visits estate agents and businesses
in Cambridge and Ipswich to compare directly what attracts people
to both centres and keeps them there.
Sally
Keeble MP is trying to free up more unused council property for
those made unintentionally homeless. We visit Luton to talk to people
living in a homeless hostel and in bed and breakfast accommodation
to see what can be done, and speak to the town聮s MP, Margaret
Moran.
East
at Westminster is at 1.00pm, this Sunday on 大象传媒 TWO (East).
