    But none of the organisations which have recieved grants?

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • 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.
  • Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman

    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?

  • 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?

    • 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.

  • Grant Settlement (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 10 December 2003

Previously you were eloquently talking about the national responsibilities of the Met and our specific grant covering those of £200 million or so, is rising by 2.5%, less than the rate of inflation.

Given the stress we are under in London because of our national and international responsibilities why does central Government not seem to be recognising that, from...
  • Young People (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Graham Tope
    • Meeting date: 10 December 2003
    Graham Tope (AM): I do not think any of us would want to suggest that this was an issue solely for the Met to deal with; I took that as a given. Toby mentioned earlier the issue of bullying.
