  • 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?

  • Question and Answer Session: Mayoral Development Corporation (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 16 March 2011
    Jennette Arnold (Deputy Chair): Yes, Chair, thank you. I want to take you back to the area that John was asking you about. Thank you for welcoming the fact that there were some disappointments regarding the LDDC in the fact that it did not deal adequately with the social legacy. What assurances will we have from an MDC to get us the social legacy that is so required within this area? Sir Simon Milton (Deputy Mayor and Chief of Staff): The assurance you have, Jennette, is that the whole purpose of setting this up is to help achieve the convergence...

  • 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...

  • Cycle Ways and Footpaths

    • Reference: 2006/0217-1
    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 11 October 2006
    I understand that some roads, cycle ways and footpaths will be closed next year as we embark on works to build the Olympic Stadium. What are the implications of this closure for access to the cycle and pedestrian path which go around the cycle circuit over the A12 towards Stratford?

  • Flooding (Supplementary) [11]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 07 December 2005
    I want to come back to you David (Lunts). You talked about the spend on (section) 106 (planning) gain and, when you see a planning application, everybody is rushing to benefit from the 106 gain. Can you clarify, whose 106 gain is it? Is it the boroughs? Is it the LDA's? And what lever do you as the GLA have to pull if it is the borough or if it is the LDA? Let us have some clarity on the record about who is responsible for 106 spend around the whole Olympic site or going as far out as Thames...

  • Access to jobs and training for young people (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 07 December 2005
    I have got some specifics, if I could follow up Marc with what you have said so far. My questions are about, one about process and I want to then target on particularly young people. Also, I just want to start off by touching on the amount that has been quoted. Many of us round here with the experience of local government and regeneration and skills arena, we know that £9 million ' I mean it is an awful thing to say ' does not buy much. In terms of this spend, the way that you are talking in generalities...

  • Access to jobs and training for young people (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 07 December 2005
    This information will be available what, after January, after you have got total sign up from the boroughs or is this now available from yourselves?

  • Access to jobs and training for young people (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 07 December 2005
    Finally, can you just tell me about the links that you have currently with the London Skills Councils, who have a great deal of money and how you are going to then get a bolt onto that pot?

  • Access to jobs and training for young people (Supplementary) [9]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 07 December 2005
    Can we receive your assurance then that young people are, if you like, a key focus group? A recent report published showed that about 20% of young people are now heading towards unemployment and one of the key things underpinning that employability is their unskilled state. Are you looking to focus on that group?
