What mechanism do you have, therefore, to make sure you discharge your responsibility for the content of The Londoner in a proper fashion?

I understand that. Perhaps you could help us, then. Who in your office has the authority to sign off letters, publications, or strategies on your behalf that you do not have the chance to go through in detail yourself?
