  • Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [20]

    • 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?

    Mr Lewis, I take it you had read the report?

    That is right. Mr Lewis, who drew up and authorised the issue of the press release?

    Very well, Mr Lewis. Why did you then put out a press release which is put in these terms, in the light of what Mr Travers has just told us and in the light of the report which I take it you had read: 'Allegations of LDA corruption false'? Referring to the allegations in the first paragraph it says, 'The review finds these to be unfounded'? It does not do anything of the kind, does it?

My main concern is that the replacement facilities that you put in place...
  • Skills Legacy (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Dee Doocey
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    My concern is the real deprived communities; the ones that are just not being picked up because nobody knows who they are. The more visits I do the more convinced I become that what is on offer is not really going to help these people and those are the people that we all want to help more than anyone. I wondered if you would consider a couple of things. First of all I really identified a need for some pan-London funding where at the moment you are giving it to boroughs to dish out, which I understand, but there is...
