  • London Development Agency Funding of Organisations (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    Is this information going to be made available to us, that information which you have just said, 'You can see'?

  • Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [18]

  • Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [22]

    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    When you say that you are making all of the files available, will you understand our scepticism when earlier this year the Assembly's Economic Development, Culture, Sport and Tourism Committee asked lots of questions about the Bernie Grant Centre and we were originally told that there were only a few sheets of information available but then, when we asked for the matter to be investigated more closely, 40 cartons of papers were made available? It is very difficult for us on that basis to know what precisely is going to be the full information that you hold.

  • London Development Agency Funding of Organisations (Supplementary) [20]

    Can you understand, Manny, that Londoners will be rather foxed by a response of that kind; that you did not go to the source of the information which has been published and ask directly, and that you have merely dealt with it really at this remote distance?

  • Undertakings made to the British Olympic Committee (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 13 October 2004
    I was simply going to ask you about your track record of delivering on time and on budget. You make great play - and, indeed, you have already made great play - over the wonderful contractors that you are going to get in, who are going to deliver on time and on budget. I would like to learn from you what guarantees there are going to be from these contractors. Are you absolutely certain that they are not going to be contractors who perhaps will go belly up, so that we will have to pick up the tab? I wonder...

  • Undertakings made to the British Olympic Committee (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 13 October 2004
    World class contractors have gone bust. Londoners will expect there to be bonds equivalent to the total bill that we are going to be expected to pay. I would, however, like to ask you some questions about this total bill. Today you have told us that you expect Band D London ratepayers to pay for 10 years at £20 a head, plus another two years at a further £20 per head. What makes you think that is going to be the end of the bill, given, as Angie Bray has already said, that we as Londoners are going to have...

    Well, let us talk about Olympic grandstands, Mr Chairman.

  • Council tax and the Olympics (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 13 October 2004
    These Games uniquely seem to be public sector Games. How do you account for the fact that the only financially successful Games were run by the private sector? Also, given that the principal venues from the Games are on the edge of the city, why is the city not stumping up to pay for these Games?
