15. Members Questions From Iain Gray Q. How much of the proceeds of the sale of Allen House remain and how has it been spent? A. The proceeds remain in the NI investments and bank balance. Had we not sold Allen House we would have had to drawn down on investments, not least to refurbish Allen House to a safe and acceptable standard. The trustees have chosen to leave the investments in Coutts and use the cash in the bank, largely derived from the sale, to offset expenses where necessary. At the end of 2014 there was £468k in the bank although subsequent trading has reduced this total during 2015.

16. Members Questions From Iain Gray Q. Following the move from Allen House to temporary accommodation in London the Trustees agreed to review options including the possible purchase of a different property. Has this review been carried out? A. The debate about what to do in the longer term remains live; part of the NI’slonger term strategy is to consider alternative HQ solutions in London and elsewhere. While a number of possibilities in the London area have been researched, the trustees have yet to agree on the preferred way forward. The trustees are not currently minded to purchase a different property but have not totally excluded this possibility. Members will be informed of the outcome of these deliberations when they have reached a conclusion.

17. Members Questions From Iain Gray Q. Is there a Power Point presentation available extolling the benefits of NI Professional Membership that I could use with colleagues? A. A number of Power Point presentations exist and can be made available to members on request to the CEO. In the longer term the NI intends to create good quality presentational material which will be made available to members via the website.
