  • 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) [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?

  • Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [21]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    Just for the record, what formally are those roles that you fulfil, then? You are an accountant, I believe, but also you are the Financial Officer and that is defined in statute. Is that right?

  • Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [32]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    I have a number of housekeeping questions: the first one, which I think follows very neatly from Peter Hulme Cross's intervention, is, can you confirm, Mr Travers, that you are a Statutory Officer and that you have trade and professional qualifications as well which require you to act with integrity and not to be nobbled by the Board or other officers of the LDA?

  • Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [1]

    • 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) [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) [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...

  • Shift Patterns (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 08 November 2006
    This is a very sensitive issue as well I think, but I think many of us understand that many firefighters have work outside of fire fighting, and that providing they are fit for work and able to do the job properly that should not be a problem in any shape or form. Is that an issue in relation to the shift pattern changes?

  • Removal of Beds in Fire Stations

    • Reference: 2006/0267-1
    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 08 November 2006
    Can you explain why the Authority is contemplating spending large amounts of public money installing reclining chairs in fire stations when beds are already provided for staff?

  • Initiatives for young and elderly

    • Reference: 2003/0326
    • Question by: Diana Johnson
    • Meeting date: 12 November 2003
    What initiatives does LFEPA have in place for protecting the vulnerable in society, for instance pensioners who are most at risk from fire, and what initiatives are in place for working with young people to improve community safety? .
