  • Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [33]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    The concern that I would have here is that we have very serious concerns and allegations being raised by ' whatever you might say ' the Evening Standard, as being the publication in London, yet you did not approach them for any further evidence that they have made in terms of their allegations to do this internal review.

  • Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [36]

    • 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.

    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?
