  • LDA Agenda (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 17 March 2004
    The thesis behind this question is that the Assembly has a statutory responsibility to hold the LDA to account, but you are not a creature of regional government; there are these multiple accountabilities. If we are to do our job in holding you to account effectively, we need to see how these conflicts are working, and we talked offline about the difficulty of, for example, making available publicly a Government Office for London quarterly assessment of you.

  • LDA Agenda (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 10 December 2003

At the Authority meeting yesterday I think Sir John implied that it remained the case. Can you update us? Have you been properly told what is planned for New Year's Eve and do you have a safety plan in place for that, given that today is 10 December, just three weeks away?
