  • Housing and Planning (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Caroline Russell
    • Meeting date: 01 July 2021
    Caroline Russell AM: I want to put my question to Daniel Bridge, the Programme Director for the Royal Docks team. City Airport sits in the heart of the Royal Docks Enterprise Zone. What impact is it having on the health of people already living in the area, and are you doing any work to address this?

  • Housing and Planning (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Zack Polanski
    • Meeting date: 01 July 2021
    Zack Polanski AM: My question is also for Daniel. I am speaking to you from the Chamber at City Hall, which is on one of the more notorious public‑private spaces, More London, and we are shortly going to be moving to The Crystal. My first question is: who actually owns the land that The Crystal is on? Is it one of the GLA’s pocket strategic development sites? Is it owned by the developer Advanced Business Park? Is it someone else entirely?

  • Housing and Planning (Supplementary) [15]

    • Question by: Unmesh Desai
    • Meeting date: 01 July 2021
    Unmesh Desai AM: Good morning. My question is to Royal Docks Programme Director Daniel Bridge. How will developments at the Royal Docks bring opportunities for London?

  • London Development Agency Funding of Organisations

    • Reference: 2008/0006
    • Question by: Sally Hamwee
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    A number of times the phrase is used that you found 'no evidence'. It is difficult to ask you to prove a negative but I think it would be helpful to have assurances about the thoroughness of the review. Could you tell me about what interviews and discussions there were with staff, with representatives from the projects and so on?

  • Review process of LDA funding

    • Reference: 2008/0007
    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    Yes. I would like to know exactly how you carried out your investigation; for example, did you interview the whistleblower, Brenda Stern, as to the allegations which she made and which were repeated in the Evening Standard?

  • Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [12]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    Understood. Then, quite separately, as you also point out in your report, there is a separate police investigation into the Green Badge Taxi School which you are cooperating with?

  • Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [13]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    Yes, thank you very much, so that is an internal review. Your conclusions in the report, which I have read and which were submitted to the LDA Board, really put it in these terms, do they not, as Mike Tuffrey has said; in a nutshell, of the six you concentrated on, four require further work, three of those specifically involve the police and we do not know whether Brixton Base will involve the police or not because it is too early to say yet; you need to do further work. Is that a fair conclusion?

  • Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [14]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    So, again, no intervention; the Board did not rewrite it, ask you to pull your punches or whatever?

  • Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [15]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    But none of the organisations have received grants?

  • Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [16]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    Therefore if you are looking at questions of the inner workings of organisations you might have funded in the past, you simply do not have the powers to investigate those to the extent that the allegations would suggest you might need to or might want to, or a third party might want to?
