  • London Development Agency Funding of Organisations (Supplementary) [34]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    I think your spokesman, Rob Beasley, described the review as an internal review led by one of the Agency's officials, conducted by its staff; I would not describe it as an audit. You have described the role of Deloitte: it is your report, not Deloitte's.

    But none of the organisations which have recieved grants?

    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    Can you confirm then that the report that was issued is substantially, other than maybe a few housekeeping issues that might have emerged, the one that was presented to the Board on the Friday morning? I believe that is the case.

    Has he given you a timescale for what he is going to do or how he is going to do anything?

  • Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    I do not have any problem with the entirety. Just to clarify ' I think this has been clarified fairly well ' but the question of referrals to the police is because, when serious allegations are made ' and of course people making serious allegations have a serious responsibility to reflect on the seriousness of the allegations they are making ' the LDA is not a detective agency itself. You can confirm that it is not a detective agency?

    It would be premature, would it not?

  • Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    You have mentioned, Andrew, that this is your review. I want to be absolutely clear what the status of the District Auditor is in it now. Have you asked the District Auditor to do any further work or investigations?

  • Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [11]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    I might as well declare that I was the Chair of the Audit Committee of the LDA for a couple of years. I am very happy for that to be a matter of record as well; we did some very good work there. The District Audit is an independent service. There are of course two sides to this because politicians the world over use it as a foil for their political battles, but anyone in this Chamber, or indeed any member of the public, has a perfect right to contact the District Audit Service and to ask them to look...

  • Budget and Venues Update (Supplementary) [3]

If that site is highly contaminated, don't you think that enormous efforts should be made to damp down the dust and make sure that the dust does not go onto surrounding areas?

  • Budget and Venues Update (Supplementary) [4]

    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    Just to be absolutely clear, the £1 billion, plus the inflation, will, in your view, not be exceeded in order to build these permanent and temporary facilities and to upgrade and to turn them into legacy mode, is that correct?
