  • Climate change (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2010
    I did not hear the commitment around staffing that I was looking for. Could you agree to shift the language both sides from the orderly wind-down language to the language of rapid transfer? Simon, can you commit to look at the resources that we have available here - whether it is reserves or whether it is a media freeze on activity here - that is a lesser priority than some of the services that we are at risk of losing? What was a prize that, after a decade we would finally get this all together, we are turning to going...

  • Key Priorities (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 13 January 2010
    I just wanted to carry on a point that Len has already picked up around the spending against priorities because, at our Budget and Performance Committee last week, of which I am a Member, we heard, exactly as you have confirmed this morning, that you have some underspends from this year that you are taking as part of your funding package for next year. I cannot remember the number. I just simply want to put some numbers on these things so can you just remind me, was is about £16 million? What is the amount of underspend from this year...

  • LDA Funding for Academies (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 18 March 2009
    I think there would be huge scepticism on all sides of this Chamber and outside this Chamber that the LDA should be getting into funding secondary education. Mr Rogers, you started your answer by saying, 'I believe in the academy system.' Bluntly, what you believe or otherwise is of relevance to your advice to the Board, and I noted you did not answer the question. The question was, 'Has the Board yet considered whether funding secondary education is compatible with focusing on the LDA's core mission?' So can I ask the Chair of the Board to give us the Board...

  • Approving and Planning Foreign Travel (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    Is not the truth here that there is no planning? This has mushroomed completely out of control. Until we started asking questions you and the Mayor did not know the volume of it. We are told that since we started asking questions he in particular has been amazed at the volume of travelling going on.

  • Approving and Planning Foreign Travel (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    That is not the point I am raising.

  • Approving and Planning Foreign Travel (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    What is behind it is I do not believe there is actually any monitoring and tracking.

  • Approving and Planning Foreign Travel (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    Can I return to planning and approval and ask Simon Fletcher what monitoring is done as part of the planning and approval process as to the volume of overseas travel?

  • Approving and Planning Foreign Travel (Supplementary) [18]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    I take it that Jenny is bosom buddies with the Mayor!

  • Achievements from the GLA's Work on the Economic Promotion of London (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    Indeed we do not want a gap year Mayor, and I did say that, but I also said, and so it is a little deplorable if you misquote me and partially quote me, what I also said 'was that Ken Livingstone has a duty to stick up for London and to support London's economy. We support specific foreign trips that encourage investment in the capital. However, after the Mayor's failed junkets to Cuba and Venezuela I will be keeping a close eye on the costs and purpose of the trip so that Londoners get value for money. That is what...
