  • Sporting Legacy (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 15 February 2007
    Can I turn to Lord Coe and thank him also for the work that he has done in West London, and visiting the school where I am a governor, the Harefield Academy. Clearly, that is a sports academy which is very much tied into this spirit and ethos of what we want to achieve through the Olympic Games. Are you picking up that same spirit and ethos across London?

  • LDA Project Funding (Supplementary) [1]

  • LDA Project Funding (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 11 October 2006

  • LDA Project Funding (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 11 October 2006
    No, I am asking about the procedures to ensure that your accounting procedures, your checking procedures, are right.

  • LDA Project Funding (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 11 October 2006
    As you are aware, I have been looking at the grant procedures of the LDA for some months and I have certainly identified about 20 companies that are dormant that you have given money to. I will not read out the list now, but I can certainly supply that to you.

  • LDA Project Funding (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 11 October 2006
    Would you expect directors of dormant companies which had a relationship with this building to so declare it?
