  • Question and Answer Session: London Development Agency Settlement (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 16 March 2011
    Do you expect those strands to be fully funded as originally envisaged or will there have to be some cutbacks?

  • Question and Answer Session: London Development Agency Settlement (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 16 March 2011
    Yes, Chair. I am impressed the Mayor has created another functional body: Bacon for London! I have three areas of questioning - very briefly. The first is you are trying to clutch some sort of victory out of the jaws of defeat, I would suggest. The Government effectively abolished both the budgets and the entities of the Regional Development Agencies (RDAs) last year, while accepting that City Hall is going to have some economic regeneration capacity. I pay tribute to you personally because I know you have been scrambling in the background to try to persuade it that it made...

  • Question and Answer Session: London Development Agency Settlement (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 16 March 2011
    You mentioned the youth priorities would be one of the things the Mayor could inform us about next week. This afternoon some Members of this Assembly are meeting to update ourselves on the Time for Action strands. We do know from the information we have to date that a lot of those programmes have been put on hold because of the concern about funding --

  • Question and Answer Session: Mayoral Development Corporation (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 16 March 2011
    Thank you, Chair. Cruel fate has dictated that I lead on this as well! I am very grateful for your opening comments. Can you tell us what progress you have made in your discussions with the boroughs in particular on how they might be affected, particularly on the planning powers?

  • Question and Answer Session: Mayoral Development Corporation (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Nicky Gavron
    • Meeting date: 16 March 2011
    The Mayoral Development Corporation will presumably have to be in conformity with the London Plan?

  • Question and Answer Session: Mayoral Development Corporation (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 16 March 2011
    Jennette Arnold (Deputy Chair): Yes, Chair, thank you. I want to take you back to the area that John was asking you about. Thank you for welcoming the fact that there were some disappointments regarding the LDDC in the fact that it did not deal adequately with the social legacy. What assurances will we have from an MDC to get us the social legacy that is so required within this area? Sir Simon Milton (Deputy Mayor and Chief of Staff): The assurance you have, Jennette, is that the whole purpose of setting this up is to help achieve the convergence...

  • Catering at Games' Venues (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Navin Shah
    • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
    Again, I am very happy to see you around. The question is on your policy and strategy about promoting fair trade products and that is right across the board, not only food and drink, but other products, sporting or otherwise?

  • Risks (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
    I would agree with you. I did anticipate that the previous question would take up time. Indeed our Members were choreographed to take up time on it, which would have meant I would have been here, Chair, so I will have to expel them later! I am very grateful for the reply and I think I did catch its basic contents. I think we all welcome your commitment to legacy although, of course, you will be long gone in this capacity by the time we really discover whether there was a legacy. Do you think there is a tension between...

  • Risks (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
    I have two questions. I think one is for Seb because I know that he has given this commitment to young people. Is there a risk that young people will be squeezed out? It is linked to the ticketing issue. I am just wanting assurance from you, yet again, that there is a plan and that we would never ever sit in our living rooms and see empty seats in any stadia, given that we have got millions of young people in London who could be there taking up those seats. That is, if you like, the back up, but...
