    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2010
    What preparations have the LDA made for the transition into the GLA?

  • Climate change (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2010
    I would like to return, please, to the question which was raised by John Biggs about the possible burden on London council taxpayers of the change of control. It is clear that there are going to be some continuing obligations which the LDA has entered into which are going to have to continue to be paid for. I want to know how you decide how the payments are going to be made? If those payments are going to be made, where is the money coming from? As I understand it, the vast bulk of the money which Government is going...

  • Academies (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 13 January 2010
    You will know that Members on this side are very sceptical of the role that the LDA is proposing to play in the establishment of academies. Do you not think it would be infinitely more sensible and more attuned to your statutory role if such monies as you have available for education were channelled into providing apprenticeships, training for real jobs, rather than what some of us see as a kind of Trojan horse for re-establishing the Inner London Education Authority?

  • 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]

    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008

  • 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?

  • Recent changes at the LDA (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 17 March 2004
    £132,000? That is less than £1 per head of the residents of the Royal Borough of Kingston-upon-Thames. It does not seem like a very good deal. Do you think that is a good deal?
