  • Dissolution of LFEPA (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Fiona Twycross
    • Meeting date: 02 December 2015
    Fiona Twycross AM: I wanted to correct the impression that was given that the way it has been operating at the moment has been simply about opposition Members [on LFEPA] getting at the Mayor. The fact is that the Mayor has insisted on managing by Direction even when there has not been an impasse, including on issues over which there has been cross‑party agreement by LFEPA Members. I just wondered if you could focus a little bit on what impact the Mayor’s insistence on management by Direction has had. To be honest, we have had Directions on all sorts of...

  • Dissolution of LFEPA (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 02 December 2015
    Richard Tracey AM: Chairman, probably this is one for you as the politician of the two of you. The fact is, surely, that government, particularly local government, has been changing very considerably over recent years. That is accepted. The straight point to you: is it not correct that perhaps LFEPA in its current form is out of date and past its sell‑by date, really?

  • New Technology (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Fiona Twycross
    • Meeting date: 02 December 2015
    Fiona Twycross AM: We obviously have to make sensible use of resources in the face of cuts. Some of the new technology that could come online is really interesting and will offer exciting possibilities, but do you agree with the Londoner who contacted me yesterday to say that £283,000 for a website rebuild is bordering on scandalous?

  • LDA Board Meetings (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 10 October 2001

  • LDA Board Meetings (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Lynne Featherstone
    • Meeting date: 10 October 2001
    Thank you. I think you have just demonstrated the point, actually. You've given a reasonably full answer on tourism, which is something we should have had before. If it wasn't Functional Bodies Question Time today, would we have had that information? The point about this whole debate, and I think you're getting it cross-party actually, is the feeling that you stick out like a sore thumb in your attitude towards openness and accountability, not just to the public. I would like these meetings all to be public and I would like all the information. What you've said today should have...

  • LDA Board Meetings (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Meg Hillier
    • Meeting date: 10 October 2001
    I share a number of the concerns that Tony's outlined and if we can perhaps particularly focus on the website. We're supposed to be, as the GLA family, into open government and the web approach was something that was an ethos that the Mayor and others agree is a great way of people having access. However, if you go onto the LDA website it seems, as Tony says, that you control what comes out in terms of press releases and I haven't yet managed to find the minutes on the website. Maybe I'm just not very good at browsing. But...

  • LDA Board Meetings (Supplementary) [9]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 10 October 2001
    Michael, rumours are flying around about the large amount of jobs that have been lost to date. Can you not give us an assurance and tell us are we talking thousands of jobs to date or what have you got that you can share with us today?

  • LDA Properties (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Elizabeth Howlett
    • Meeting date: 10 October 2001
    Have you ear-marked any sites for which you have considered the possibility of using this method?

  • LDA Properties (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Elizabeth Howlett
    • Meeting date: 10 October 2001
    I'm sure we would all like to know if you intend activating these powers and whether, in fact, these properties are in habitation at the present time and why you would consider using compulsory purchase orders for the greater gain of what? Because local authorities very rarely now use them. It's usually only for road building. But I would be interested to know in which area you would consider using it.

  • LDA Properties (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Elizabeth Howlett
    • Meeting date: 10 October 2001
    My information is quite wrong then and I apologise about that but I was informed that you had in fact used some compulsory purchase orders.
