    • Question by: Dee Doocey
    • Meeting date: 16 March 2011

  • 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...
  • 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?
  • Childcare Targets

    • Reference: 2006/0138-1
    • Question by: Dee Doocey
    • Meeting date: 11 October 2006
    Given that there is a target of 1050 new Childcare Spaces (capital funding) between 2005-2008, why does the LDA Corporate Performance Report only include target figures for Childcare Places (i.e. under the Childcare Affordability Programme)?
  • 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...
  • Tendering for contracts (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Dee Doocey
    • Meeting date: 07 December 2005
    My final question is about procurement, which leads neatly on to it. The draft Procurement Principles mention a number of key criteria that have got to be met including a list of things like community benefit, local labour and London's Living Wage, which I know the Mayor in particular is very committed to. Could you just explain why the first contract that you have dished out, the one for under-grounding the power lines, you have not managed to get the contractor to agree to pay the living wage and that, according to the ODA, they have just agreed to pay...
  • Tendering for contracts (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Dee Doocey
    • Meeting date: 07 December 2005
    That is fine. I was surprised that the LCCI told us that 80% of their members employed 10 or less people and that that was the business profile in London as a whole. I think perhaps more needs to be done to make sure that those people are being included because a lot of businesses that employ less than 10 people will not have somebody dedicated to go on the website and to look for all the information. It is not easy to find information. It is quite difficult. Can I just mention targets? Manny (Lewis) mentioned earlier ' and...
  • Tendering for contracts (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Dee Doocey
    • Meeting date: 07 December 2005
    I am very pleased, Marc, that you seem to have taken on board an awful lot of what happened at the committee meeting last week. Although it is certainly true that the LCCI said that it was happy with the information it had got, they were referring to a meeting you had had the night before. Certainly, when Bob Blackman (AM) and I went to see them a couple of weeks ago, they were complaining long and loud to people around the table that they had had no information at all. I am delighted to see that you have picked...
