  • London Development Agency Funding of Organisations (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    Is this information going to be made available to us, that information which you have just said, 'You can see'?

  • Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [18]

  • Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [22]

    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    When you say that you are making all of the files available, will you understand our scepticism when earlier this year the Assembly's Economic Development, Culture, Sport and Tourism Committee asked lots of questions about the Bernie Grant Centre and we were originally told that there were only a few sheets of information available but then, when we asked for the matter to be investigated more closely, 40 cartons of papers were made available? It is very difficult for us on that basis to know what precisely is going to be the full information that you hold.

  • London Development Agency Funding of Organisations (Supplementary) [20]

    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    Can you understand, Manny, that Londoners will be rather foxed by a response of that kind; that you did not go to the source of the information which has been published and ask directly, and that you have merely dealt with it really at this remote distance?

  • Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [10]

    • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    Will you just confirm, for the record, that I passed on a casework complaint to you, Manny, in 2005 regarding the Green Badge Taxi School and we had a considerable amount of correspondence; and that as a result there was an external audit commissioned of the organisation and the grant that was given? In response to that, you called in external legal advice and you sent a copy of that to me finally in April 2007, and at that time I felt that you had dealt with the complaint as thoroughly as could be done at the time.

  • Crystal Palace Park (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
    • Meeting date: 11 October 2006
    Yes, I think it has been consequent on the Licensing Act that has given an opportunity to reduce the administration, so that is very helpful. The other small glitch we had is that there was a planning application, you might not have a note on this, from Capel Manor. Although that horticultural facility was supported during the master planning process by Bromley, there has been the small local planning application which has subsequently gone in, and has been turned down by Bromley. I certainly want to see that resolved. Are you committed to getting that resolved and keeping Capel Manor...

  • Crystal Palace Park (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
    • Meeting date: 11 October 2006
    Well, thank you very much for that very clear commitment. I have to say that the project is extremely popular and there have been two very good consultations in the area, which have raised expectations. The fact that there have been these glitches has caused concern, because nobody in the area wants to see the LDA walking away, because clearly it is a big and difficult project and the community groups in the area have put in a lot of time and effort. Indeed, they are meeting the Mayor this morning about the project. As I said, there have been...

  • Crystal Palace Park (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
    • Meeting date: 11 October 2006
    Thank you very much. I am pleased for that, because in fact the animal farm there, the petting zoo, which is part of this project, was the single most popular feature in the park that people wanted to see reopened. It was one of the things that made the park a children's park. Andrew Pelling AM: I was very grateful, Chair, for a letter I received from the Chief Executive a month ago reassuring me that the LDA remains very committed to ensuring the best regeneration of this park, although I am still a little bit disconcerted that in many...
