  • Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [20]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    First of all a specific point: there are standard phrases which occur in a number of paragraphs of the review, one that the review has identified weaknesses, in effect, in procedures which are now being addressed and, second, the point is made, I think, on three or four occasions about the way in which the Mayoral advisory role is conducted in respect of programme delivery should be clarified. What specific steps are you taking to carry forward those conclusions?
  • Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [39]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    Mr Lewis, I take it you had read the report?
  • Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [40]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    That is right. Mr Lewis, who drew up and authorised the issue of the press release?

  • London Development Agency Funding of Organisations (Supplementary) [28]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    Very well, Mr Lewis. Why did you then put out a press release which is put in these terms, in the light of what Mr Travers has just told us and in the light of the report which I take it you had read: 'Allegations of LDA corruption false'? Referring to the allegations in the first paragraph it says, 'The review finds these to be unfounded'? It does not do anything of the kind, does it?

Do you think perhaps it is an advantage that they are able to plan at a county, as opposed to a borough, level? Is that something you should learn from London's point of view? Secondly, I also note that the very helpful plans, which you have detailed, Mr Wechsler, are made available to the public, both on, for example, Oxfordshire County Council's website and Surrey County Council's website, and that Surrey, indeed, has a dedicated SurreyAlert website. Do we propose to...
  • Operational planning with non-London local authorities (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 08 December 2004
    I just wondered if people might more logically think we would go to a London alert website, rather than a Bexley alert or a Hammersmith alert.
