London Recovery Board and London Transition Board (Supplementary) [5]
- Question by: Susan Hall
- Meeting date: 02 July 2020
Susan Hall AM: My questions really have to be to Fiona and David Bellamy because I would like to ask about the Mayor in particular. What role does he have on the London Transition Board other than to chair it periodically? Which one of you would like to answer me?
LLDC Finances (Supplementary) [10]
- Question by: Unmesh Desai
- Meeting date: 02 November 2017
Unmesh Desai AM: I was hoping to raise this earlier, Chair, but I will raise it anyway. It relates to a comment made by Assembly Member Andrew Boff. I do not want to get into a party-political spat but, following advice I received from the Secretariat, I have no choice but to put my question to you. You cannot speak for Newham Council, obviously, but Newham partners with LLDC E20. Is it your understanding that the money Newham has put into E20 is a loan

London Development Agency Funding of Organisations
- Reference: 2008/0006
- Question by: Sally Hamwee
- Meeting date: 16 January 2008
A number of times the phrase is used that you found 'no evidence'. It is difficult to ask you to prove a negative but I think it would be helpful to have assurances about the thoroughness of the review. Could you tell me about what interviews and discussions there were with staff, with representatives from the projects and so on?

- Question by: Tony Arbour
- Meeting date: 16 January 2008
Yes. I would like to know exactly how you carried out your investigation; for example, did you interview the whistleblower, Brenda Stern, as to the allegations which she made and which were repeated in the Evening Standard?
Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [12]
- Question by: Bob Neill
- Meeting date: 16 January 2008
Understood. Then, quite separately, as you also point out in your report, there is a separate police investigation into the Green Badge Taxi School which you are cooperating with?
Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [13]
- Question by: Bob Neill
- Meeting date: 16 January 2008
Yes, thank you very much, so that is an internal review. Your conclusions in the report, which I have read and which were submitted to the LDA Board, really put it in these terms, do they not, as Mike Tuffrey has said; in a nutshell, of the six you concentrated on, four require further work, three of those specifically involve the police and we do not know whether Brixton Base will involve the police or not because it is too early to say yet; you need to do further work. Is that a fair conclusion?

So, again, no intervention; the Board did not rewrite it, ask you to pull your punches or whatever?

Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [16]
- Question by: John Biggs
- Meeting date: 16 January 2008
