  • Climate change (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2010
    I would like to return, please, to the question which was raised by John Biggs about the possible burden on London council taxpayers of the change of control. It is clear that there are going to be some continuing obligations which the LDA has entered into which are going to have to continue to be paid for. I want to know how you decide how the payments are going to be made? If those payments are going to be made, where is the money coming from? As I understand it, the vast bulk of the money which Government is going...

    • Question by: Andrew Boff

    Anthony Browne gave us evidence that he knew of 15 potential LEPs across London that were being proposed. Why would you turn them down if they have made a good local case?

  • Work of the LDA (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Andrew Boff
    • Meeting date: 13 January 2010
    You identified in your introduction, and I hope I can allude to it then - because it covers the same thing - a number of past failures of the LDA which obviously you are seeking to address. For example, Mr Rogers has said that the LDA's business support programmes were not fit for purpose and I just wondered, first of all, how long that has been going on? How long has the LDA's business support not been fit for purpose and how long do we have to wait before it is?

  • Innovative housing projects (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Andrew Boff
    • Meeting date: 13 January 2010
    Mr McGrath, you said that one of your biggest contributions is to contribute the equity towards the development of projects, in the form of land, and, in order to assist developers, then producing a plan. To what extent do you take a view on the actual quality of that development and how it meets any of the GLA's strategic aims and meets the needs of Londoners, specifically with regard to housing?

  • Academies (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 13 January 2010
    You will know that Members on this side are very sceptical of the role that the LDA is proposing to play in the establishment of academies. Do you not think it would be infinitely more sensible and more attuned to your statutory role if such monies as you have available for education were channelled into providing apprenticeships, training for real jobs, rather than what some of us see as a kind of Trojan horse for re-establishing the Inner London Education Authority?
