    "content": "When he was asked about De La Rue, he said we were speaking out of ignorance. When he was asked about the Grand Regency Hotel, he said: \"This is a deal too sweet to sign off\". Allow me to train him without a charge. I will tell him where the problem is. The problem is not even in the value as such. In valuation circles, there is what we call \"open market value\". The Minister did not even bother to say which value they adopted. They could have adopted the wholesale value, in which case they could lock themselves up and go to an auction, or lock themselves up somewhere and dispose of the property. However, the open market value is described as the price at which an interest in a property might reasonably be expected to be sold by private treaty at the time of valuation, assuming, first, that there is a willing buyer and a willing seller, and, two, that there is a reasonable period within which to negotiate the sale, taking into account the nature of the property and the state of the market. Most importantly, and finally, the property will be freely exposed to the market, with reasonable publicity. I will repeat that for him! The property will be freely exposed to the market with reasonable publicity. I am a valuer myself! We know very well - I have nothing against my professional July 2, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1607 colleagues - that in this world you can get anything you want. Last time, when we asked the Minister questions, because we had facts that this hotel had been sold, these were his words in a Ministerial Statement:- \"I also wish to state that it is not true that the hotel has been sold to the so called Meridian Arab---\" We had information, some of it I will not tell you where it was from, but it was right hand information. The Minister cannot come back and mislead the House that, indeed, the hotel was sold after the Ministerial Statement. That is misleading the House!"
