  • 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...

    • Reference: 2010/0046
    • Question by: Richard Barnbrook
    • Meeting date: 13 January 2010
    Has the London Development Agency (LDA) invested in a company in the last 5 years in which their grant has been recouped due to the company fulfilling its potential for growth as outlined in the LDA Business Support mission statement?

Bearing in mind that he once threatened the LDA with contempt of court for failure to disclose information under an FOI request, has the LDA now resolved to comply with its duty, and deal with such requests within the required time limits?
  • Key Priorities (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Richard Barnbrook
    • Meeting date: 13 January 2010
    Good morning, gentlemen. We have heard about the fact of how London will survive without the LDA. We have also heard from Mr Duvall regarding the workings or possible wrong workings of the LDA. I want to touch on something that is a bit old and I hope is not going to occur again; that is perceived corruption within certain officers and employers of the LDA. One project comes to mind. I know it has been put to bed and I think it has been put to bed a bit too quickly; the Brixton project and the slap on the...
  • 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?
