Stephen Knight AM: Just one quick point and that is, is it legally possible to spend Section 106 or CIL money outside the boundary of a planning authority?

Murad Qureshi AM: Can I raise two or three issues. The first one, Eddie, I am grateful that you mentioned the canals at the outset. It is just unfortunate they do not show up on the maps. I have no doubts that residential developers will be eying those canal sides very eagerly, because I suspect they can enhance the values of the developments by up to 40%. That is the residential side. However, I am more concerned that they are used during the works construction on the site. I think this is going to be a huge development site, over...

Jenette Arnold OBE (Deputy Chair): I have a couple of questions, one for Sir Eddie, and one for Victoria Hills. Sir Eddie, in your introduction you mentioned that the Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (OPDC) master plan was similar to the blueprint adopted by the LLDC. I know, as one of the three Assembly Members for the area covered by the LLDC, and was heavily involved in the consultation and now I keep a very strong watching brief on what is going on, that many aspects of the LLDC’s vision has changed. For instance, the LLDC plan started...

Richard Tracey AM: Thank you, Mr Chairman. Edward, can I first of all thank you for organising for the letter to Kit Malthouse [AM] about Wormwood Scrubs, which of course has been circulated to all of us. All of us on this side have received emails from many people who certainly were not constituents of ours but had some concerns, so I think it has helped very much to clarify, and I am grateful to Kit for writing to the Mayor about it. First of all though, I was going to say there is a lot of experience in this...

Let us move on to the drug intervention programme. Obviously you are having the budget for this devolved from the Home Office. It is a considerable sum of money. How are you going to manage the programme?

I wanted to pick up first on Project Daedalus and then moving forward on that. Obviously in the detailed evaluation report that we have had it showed the reoffending rate for those leaving the Heron Unit was 53%, whereas the national reoffending rate was 70%, but that was only for the first cohort. I am wondering, are you going to be looking at the later cohorts to assess what their reoffending rate was - which would mean we probably would not get the final details until the end of next year?

Tony Arbour (AM): Do you have any views on that, Stephen?

• Question by: Joanne McCartney
• Meeting date: 20 December 2012

Obviously because the time has slipped for getting bids in to you by the end of February but the schemes are going to be starting in April, the new financial year, it does not give them very much leeway. Will you be giving them some extra leeway in how they can deliver those schemes?

This is an incredibly difficult area because in fact you do not want to stop whistle-blowers. You do not want to stop the police officers who are reporting on illegal activities within the Metropolitan Police Service. You want them to come forward. At the same time, you do not want false allegations leaked. In the past, the Metropolitan Police Service has had incidents where that has happened and officers do not seem to have been published. We have the de Menezes stuff and we have the Tomlinson stuff. Metropolitan Police Service officers have got away with false allegations or false...

I am going to move on to a few questions about community safety funding, if I may, and I wanted to ask the Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime. Obviously we have seen some of the criteria that have come through in the letter that has been sent out from you and London Councils to councils. The first question was how MOPAC selected the criteria under which the decisions on allocating community safety funding were selected and what consultation if any you made in determining the criteria with relevant stakeholders who were applying for funding.
