As one of the Housing Action Campaign occupiers of Centre Point in January 1974 I note with no surprise that the building is being converted into luxury flats (Harry Hyams obituary, 23 December). More than ever Centre Point remains a symbol of how land ownership is about money-making rather than meeting people’s needs. Nothing changes except maybe the will to occupy it again.

• I couldn’t help noticing that all the letters (28 December) responding to Giles Fraser’s article about the virgin birth were written by men. Clearly the women were too busy doing more important things – cooking the Christmas dinner, presumably.
