  • 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?

  • Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [37]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    So are those the records that the LDA has of email traffic and other aspects?

  • London Development Agency Funding of Organisations (Supplementary) [14]

    • Question by: Sally Hamwee
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    Further discussions on a broader basis will take place with a more limited number of organisations, is that correct?

    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    Not the rest of the 12 that were looked at?

  • South London Venues (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 13 October 2004
    Thank you for that answer, but you will recall that one of the issues that was raised at the five-borough planning meeting was the legacy. Really my question is about what guarantees we are building in to ensure that facilities that are built really can have the revenue in order that they can carry on, and we are not left in a position with so-called `white elephants- around the place.

  • South London Venues (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 13 October 2004
    Can I just press you: when you say "sign off" and "your assurance," we hear this, and people in Hackney and in east London have heard this time and time again, so can you just dig deeper? What do you mean? What guarantees are there that there will be a revenue stream and that these jobs that are created will stay local? I do not get a sense of what is happening and who is going to be leading. Will the LDA be leading on behalf of the Mayor to ensure that the legacy is longer than the Games?

  • South London Venues (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 13 October 2004
    The comments about Crystal Palace are welcome, but perhaps the Mayor would deal with this: do you not understand that residents of Bromley and Bexley feel aggrieved? Although safeguarding of Crystal Palace is good, they are likely to receive very little direct benefit in legacy terms, but are expected to contribute through their council tax for a number of years, whereas residents of areas outside London, which may have Olympic sites as firm parts of the bid, are not expected to contribute. What means could be achieved to seek greater equity for the residents of Bexley and Bromley on that...

  • South London Venues (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 13 October 2004
    Can I just take you round to the people. One of the riches of the city and one of the riches of the Games pitch is the diversity and the ethnic minority communities that are at the heart of this area of London. What guarantees do they have that they will be seen as part of a future in terms of jobs, or will they only be brought out to serve at the banquets?

  • Legacy (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
    • Meeting date: 13 October 2004
    Thank you, Chair. Before I start, I just want to say that I never in my wildest dreams thought we were going to get to this stage. It is so good that we have made such progress, and I just want to say, "congratulations" to the 2012 team and the LDA. You have done so much work so fast and so professionally, and I think Londoners should be really proud of you. You are a class act, and we deserve to win next year. I am really very pleased with what I have heard today. On the legacy, we have...
