  • LLDC and the current housing climate (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Andrew Boff
    • Meeting date: 02 November 2017
    Andrew Boff AM: The Local Plan says the LLDC will exceed the London Plan’s target of 1,471 housing units per annum. Does that remain your aspiration?

  • LLDC Finances (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Gareth Bacon MP
    • Meeting date: 02 November 2017
    Gareth Bacon AM: Thank you, Chair. I will start by echoing something you said earlier on, David, and it was echoed by Sir Peter. As a regeneration project, it has to be acknowledged that it is successful. Compared to any other Olympic city in the past, what has happened in London is transformationally better than anywhere else. That said, of course, there are some caveats to that and the biggest running sore is the Stadium. I am going to go back over a couple of the points that have been covered by other Members, just to try to get more...

  • LLDC Finances (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Andrew Boff
    • Meeting date: 02 November 2017
    Andrew Boff AM: How could something be described as ‘sustainable’ when London taxpayers will have to keep propping you up every year and you cannot tell us when that is going to stop? How is that sustainable?

  • Potential for Further Budget Increases (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    Does that include taking advice from the people on Lord James of Blackheath's team who had to bail out some of the consequences of the Dome? The police were involved in that.

  • Potential for Further Budget Increases (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    The trouble that I have is that the more one departs from basic commercial practice, when we fall into public sector practice, the greater the risk, history tells us, of budget overruns.

  • Potential for Further Budget Increases (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    Can I come, Sir Roy, back to a point that Mr Higgins made in relation to our earlier discussions? I am concerned about the extent to which bottom up budgeting is really being regarded as being acceptable at all. Would you not accept that one of the lessons I think that we have learned from projects like the Dome and other public sector projects is that, by and large, you should start from the revenue generation figure, and be very reluctant about bottom up budgeting, because that is where you get `creep'? If you have the revenue regeneration figure as...

  • Potential for Further Budget Increases (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    How great is the budget for this security process, during the build phase of the building site?

  • Potential for Further Budget Increases (Supplementary) [9]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    ): I am grateful for that. When we looked at past history, things like Wembley and the Dome, one thing which tended to cause further increases in budgets was, regrettably, elements of fraud, sometimes sub-contractor fraud, and a lack of control over sub-contractor costs. What lessons have we learnt? What systems are being put in place to bear down upon that in a way which did not happen, perhaps, in some of those other projects?

  • Potential for Further Budget Increases (Supplementary) [10]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    So, at this moment, the total budgeting costs for security are approximately £1.4 billion then, if one conflates the two figures?
