  • Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [25]

    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    So you are telling the Assembly that, simply based on the information that you held in your records, on the assumption that all of your records were complete, you were able to come to a conclusion with regard to what Brenda Stern said, that as far as you were concerned there is no case to answer? Would not the obvious thing for you to have done have been to go to the source of the allegations? Is that not an elementary thing to do? Why did you limit your investigation just to the material which you say that you hold?

    Is being more effective you going out and knocking on people's doors, saying: `You are poor. You need help from us. You need our charity'?

  • Role of Faith Groups in Tackling Hard to Reach Groups (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 19 July 2006
    Isn't that precisely the point that I have been making: that you are sitting there waiting for the poor to come to you, rather than' Brian Coleman (Chairman): I do not quite think that that is what the Bishop said at all, Mr Arbour, to intervene on his behalf. The Bishop can explain himself.
