  • Dissolution of LFEPA (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Fiona Twycross
    • Meeting date: 02 December 2015
    Fiona Twycross AM: I wanted to correct the impression that was given that the way it has been operating at the moment has been simply about opposition Members [on LFEPA] getting at the Mayor. The fact is that the Mayor has insisted on managing by Direction even when there has not been an impasse, including on issues over which there has been cross‑party agreement by LFEPA Members. I just wondered if you could focus a little bit on what impact the Mayor’s insistence on management by Direction has had. To be honest, we have had Directions on all sorts of...
  • Dissolution of LFEPA (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 02 December 2015
    Richard Tracey AM: Chairman, probably this is one for you as the politician of the two of you. The fact is, surely, that government, particularly local government, has been changing very considerably over recent years. That is accepted. The straight point to you: is it not correct that perhaps LFEPA in its current form is out of date and past its sell‑by date, really?
  • New Technology (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Fiona Twycross
    • Meeting date: 02 December 2015
    Fiona Twycross AM: We obviously have to make sensible use of resources in the face of cuts. Some of the new technology that could come online is really interesting and will offer exciting possibilities, but do you agree with the Londoner who contacted me yesterday to say that £283,000 for a website rebuild is bordering on scandalous?

    How much of your brief is taken up by transport?
  • Accountability of the Mayor's Advisors (Supplementary) [11]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 12 January 2005
    I am therefore intrigued that of the 45 members of staff who work for you, as listed in the GLA intranet, not one of them has the word `transport' in their job description. All of them appear to relate to the public affairs side of the brief. How does that come about?

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 12 January 2005
    They are working for her and not for you.

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 12 January 2005
    How does their manager know what instructions to give for carrying out the Mayor's wishes?
  • Accountability of the Mayor's Advisors (Supplementary) [24]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 12 January 2005
    That is a very interesting example of transparency. Finally, I could not get an answer last time, but since Mr O'Neill is here, who is responsible for the editorial comment of The Londoner? You were not able to answer it last time, Mr Mayor.
