  • Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [40]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    That is right. Mr Lewis, who drew up and authorised the issue of the press release?

  • London Development Agency Funding of Organisations (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    First of all a specific point: there are standard phrases which occur in a number of paragraphs of the review, one that the review has identified weaknesses, in effect, in procedures which are now being addressed and, second, the point is made, I think, on three or four occasions about the way in which the Mayoral advisory role is conducted in respect of programme delivery should be clarified. What specific steps are you taking to carry forward those conclusions?

  • London Development Agency Funding of Organisations (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    So, as far you are concerned, with the exception of the ones that have been referred to the police, is this the end of the matter?

  • London Development Agency Funding of Organisations (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Peter Hulme Cross
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    My question follows on from what Tony Arbour and Bob Blackman were saying. You said that you have interviewed existing staff but you have not interviewed staff who no longer work for the organisation, one of whom, Maxine Jones, also made some allegations. There were two whistleblowers: Brenda Stern and Maxine Jones. You have said, 'The review has found that this allegation is incorrect'. In order to reach that conclusion it would seem to me that you would have to talk to both of those two people.

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    Mr Lewis, I take it you had read the report?

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    That is right. Mr Lewis, who drew up and authorised the issue of the press release?

  • London Development Agency Funding of Organisations (Supplementary) [16]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    How are you going to conduct this sampling process?

  • London Development Agency Funding of Organisations (Supplementary) [17]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    Just to clear up the point about when the report was released I think it went to the Board at 9 am or so and the press release came out 3 pm or 4 pm. I could not get the report itself off the LDA website until close to 7 pm on a Friday evening.

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

    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    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?

  • London Development Agency Funding of Organisations (Supplementary) [26]

    • 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.
