  • Climate change (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Nicky Gavron
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2010
    Harvey, given your opening remarks and the role that you attribute to the Economic Development Agency and the remark Simon made about the historic role - and I think it is true now - that the Agency can play in economic recovery and leading economic recovery of this country, what role has the London Business Board, which I believe meets regularly with the Mayor, played in lobbying Government? I would have expected the businesses of London, through London First, the Chamber of Commerce, the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) and London media to have really played a strong role in...

  • LDA Funding for Academies (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Dee Doocey
    • Meeting date: 18 March 2009
    OK, you are very keen on academies. I am completely neutral on the subject, but the figures just do not stack up to me. There are 43 academies in London, and we have got published results for 27 of them, because a lot of them are new and have not yet published. Over 50% of them have achieved less than half the national average at GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education). What I am not clear about is a lot of these are run by some serious players. I mean, we are not just talking fly-by-nights; we really are talking...
