  • Question and Answer Session: London Development Agency Settlement (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 16 March 2011
    Can I just understand the numbers a bit better. You talked about the £56 million that was all that was committed up to now but we have got £85.6 million in the budgets for this current year. Is that £85.6 million funded or is there now more in this current year, 2011/12, than that number?

    To pick up from what John was asking you, will you ensure that borough councillors and borough representatives will be on the new Board and representatives of the local communities?
  • Question and Answer Session: Mayoral Development Corporation (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 16 March 2011
    In the minute or two left I do not have the time to debate the sweep of the abolition of the Greater London Council (GLC) because it was too interventionist, the strategic role this body was meant to have and now a much more interventionist, but I think many of us round here would be very concerned at planning powers being taken off boroughs as a way of doing business. First question then, very quickly, do you agree that, if we are to go down this MDC route, there should be a very tight set of objectives and time limited...
  • Jack Lemley (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Dee Doocey
    • Meeting date: 15 November 2006
    Thank you. My last question is about the budget. I understand that the budget has not been finalised, but you should surely realise that the reason we have so much concern around here is because we have not got any information. The job we are being paid to do is to monitor the delivery of the Games. We cannot actually monitor it if we do not have the budget, because we do not know whether you are going above it or below it. Now you have said that the budget that you have asked for is significantly higher than the...
  • Jack Lemley (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Dee Doocey
    • Meeting date: 15 November 2006
    I would like to know what plans are in place to make sure that the same mistakes do not happen again when there is a new Chairman appointed. I think it is very clear, certainly to me, that Mr Lemley has done much more damage to his own reputation by his extraordinary behaviour since he left, than could ever have been done by the involvement with the Games. I wanted to know how it was going to be made sure that whoever is appointed next time, and whoever is going to appoint them - presumably the Mayor and the Secretary...
  • Budget (Supplementary) [11]

    • Question by: Sally Hamwee
    • Meeting date: 15 November 2006
    A discrete point, as it were. You have mentioned the need for an adequate contingency budget. I do not think any one would argue with that. Are you able to tell us, in terms of the percentage of the whole, what you would regard as an adequate percentage?
