SIR – Your business journalist Chris Holland (T&A, February 17) told us that last year Westfield made a net profit of £700bn.
In spite of this stupendous performance, they refuse to take the risk of investing £340m in Bradford. This is comparative peanuts, for it is equivalent to a mere 0.05 per cent (one-twentieth of a percent) of their profit.
Surely Mr Reeves should now use his clout and demand that they immediately honour their moral commitment to the people of Bradford, for on this performance there is no shortage of money.
