  • London Youth Offer (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Elizabeth Howlett
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    It seems like a very good scheme. Can I ask how this funding can be accessed by local communities?
  • London Fashion Week (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Elizabeth Howlett
    • Meeting date: 11 October 2006
    Can I encourage you then? Perhaps you can encourage a different sort of show, because after all the average size of the women in this country is a size 16, so more Rubenesque, can I say, than Picasso or Modigliani. My colleague, on my right here (Tony Arbour AM), actually has declared that he likes the Rubenesque shape rather than the skinny shape. So, can I encourage you perhaps to sponsor one of these.

  • LDA Project Funding (Supplementary) [1]

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

    Well, I am talking about a grant the LDA makes to strange organisations.
  • LDA Project Funding (Supplementary) [4]

    • 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?
