• Question by: Roger Evans
• Meeting date: 04 November 2015

Roger Evans AM: I would like to return to the debate about building links with the Indian market here in London. Recently I spoke at the World Hindu Economic Forum and also at Diwali in the Square and I was struck on both of those occasions by the size and the enthusiasm of London’s population of Hindus and Sikhs with Indian roots. What is L&P doing to use that enthusiasm and those existing links to benefit the city and to encourage more development?

What added value does L&P bring to securing exports in what is already a crowded field with UKTI and the City [of London] Corporation performing similar roles? Where do you add value when there is already a crowded field there?

Nicky Gavron AM: We learn - mainly from the international press, I have to say - that the Royal Albert Dock is due to become a third financial centre for London for primarily Asian, particularly Chinese, business.
