those investments. Please provide whatever answers you can to the
following.

1. What is the most recent available value of the local authority's
pension fund?

bonds of the following companies: British American Tobacco, Imperial
Brands, Japan Tobacco International, Altria Group Inc, Philip Morris
International, Universal Corp, Alliance One International?

3. What is the total combined value of the fund’s directly-held
investments in the companies named above?

4. What income did the fund receive from these investments in the last
12-month period for which records are available?

5. Does the fund have any other investments in tobacco via pooled
investments? What is the value of these?

6. What is the local authority’s annual spend on smoking-related illness?

7. Please supply the number of deaths attributable to smoking in the local
authority areas covered by your pension fund. Your Director of Public
