  • Jack Lemley (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 15 November 2006
    I might have to ask elsewhere. Let us get it in context. We now know that he had expressed concerns - I think was your phrase - that the project was not on track. This is not a rogue member of the Board, this is the person who is the Chair of the Authority expressing those concerns. What specifically were the concerns that he raised?

    Did you raise any of these concerns at meetings of the Board?

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 15 November 2006
    Certainly when we had the appearance in front of the Assembly in the summer, I think everyone went away thinking, `This is tremendous, everything is on track'. This now seems to bring the confidence that we all had into some question. How can you give us assurances that things really are on track?

    Lord Rogers went on record last week criticising the process for the development of the stadium. He claims that the Mayor agrees with him. Does that not lend a tremendous amount of credibility to the fact that there are disputes going on already about the whole process?

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 15 November 2006
    Why do you think Mr Lemley gave one set of reasons for leaving London and then another set of reasons on the record, as we have just heard?

    • Question by: Elizabeth Howlett
    • Meeting date: 15 November 2006
    Thank you very much. Can I pursue the reasons for Mr Lemley leaving? It has been alleged in some media reports - and of course we have no insider knowledge so I say that these are allegations - that he was inclined to blur the edges between Chair and Chief Executive, which must have been very irritating for Mr Higgins. It is also alleged that he was quite happy to pursue some pecuniary interests and was hoping to recruit a rather obscure American company which turned out to be run by a relative. Again, I am saying these are allegations...

    We understand that, Sir Roy, but Mr Neill has asked a specific question. I would be grateful if you could address it.

    • Meeting date: 15 November 2006
    I do not think Mrs Howlett is suggesting that it did come from you. She is just asking if there is any truth in it?

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 15 November 2006
    That came from some other source that speculation did it?

    What was the line that was put out, can you remind me?
