Everything will carry on just the same, you have nothing to worry about.

Stt1 - you say Labours commitment to build 1.5 mill. Homes a year is a mandatory one.

How on earth do you think they can enforce that?

Affordable housing is by definition housing that is available to buy or rent at a price below open market price.

Mainly owned by Housing Associations builders are obliged to build these types of properties on sites as a planning condition and sell them to Housing Associations, they do not like it but have no option.

As for Rachel Reeve building Three Hundred thousand new homes a year, then this will be Labours first broken promise.

We have not built that number for nearly 70 years. There is not the capacity in the industry to do it or anything near it.

It would need a huge overhaul of Planning and Envoirenment laws, and will meet huge resistance from Councils, the Green brigade and local residents. One and a half million in 5 years? I would be amazed if it reaches 1 million.

However, all good for House Builders.

Well done Trek, your knowledge is obviously superior to mine.

Under Takeover rules he has now crossed 30% and is obliged to make a bid at not less than the highest price he has paid in the last 12 months, as I understand it.

Now trading above the Offer Price.

Must be something in the air

Ummmm.

No firm offer, put proposal upped to 1140p inc. Final Divi of 30p.

Board to engage in talks and could recommend.

Nowhere near my expectations, but interesting to see the reactions from Stephen and Peter and Nick Train as well.

Deadline extended to July 19th.

Would you care to explain what your problem is MAPP?

If not, then refrain from posting this obtuse and gibberish rubbish.

I would suggest they expect a higher offer or are confident in the long term success of HL.

They already hold nearly 13% of the company I think.

They have always been bullish on HL and consider it well undervalued.

It is not impossible they have been asked their opinion of the bid and at which price they would accept, should not probably happen but it does.

To me it matters not who owns the company, the important bit is the service they provide and at what cost.

I have been a shareholder ever since they floated and a client for longer.

Always been happy with them although possibly not quite as good as they were.

Those who say they jump ship just because of a change of ownership I cannot understand, biting your nose off to spite your face.

It's rising in tandem with the BDEV share price, read the offer terms.

And the day after tomorrow,and next week, and next month.......

Eric - if the offer goes through and is accepted you will get 370p for each share you own, inc

the two dividends.

Suzano made a verbal offer to the Board of IP.

As far as I know IP have not responded, and they have certainly not made a formal offer.

So it is wait and see.

How long are your weeks Novice trader?

Aless - Shareholders have not yet accepted the offer - all the board has done is recommend that they do so, it is in the hands of the holders to reject if they wish to.

From todays price movement the market obviously expects IP to come back, will the Board entertain them, will they go hostile?

Interesting few weeks.

Agreed Mike, 383 thousand customers walked out the door last year.

A long time to turn this round.

Now being investigated by the Competition and Markets Authority.

It is still not a firm offer, so the date of March 27th still stands.

Ageas need to make a firm offer by that date or walkaway.
