  • 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: 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) [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...

  • Cycle Ways and Footpaths

    • Reference: 2006/0217-1
    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 11 October 2006
    I understand that some roads, cycle ways and footpaths will be closed next year as we embark on works to build the Olympic Stadium. What are the implications of this closure for access to the cycle and pedestrian path which go around the cycle circuit over the A12 towards Stratford?

  • Flooding (Supplementary) [11]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 07 December 2005
    I want to come back to you David (Lunts). You talked about the spend on (section) 106 (planning) gain and, when you see a planning application, everybody is rushing to benefit from the 106 gain. Can you clarify, whose 106 gain is it? Is it the boroughs? Is it the LDA's? And what lever do you as the GLA have to pull if it is the borough or if it is the LDA? Let us have some clarity on the record about who is responsible for 106 spend around the whole Olympic site or going as far out as Thames...

  • Tendering for contracts (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 07 December 2005
    Very briefly, hopefully, then. I am wondering if you can help on this. There are many local firms in my constituency and in Jennette's (Arnold, AM) who are tantalised by the prospect of getting contract work out of the Olympics, and we need to be very straight and open and honest with them about what can be achieved and what cannot be achieved. I am interested in hearing about the extent to which you have taken legal advice on how we can work within the restraints of public law and European law and also about the communication strategy of building...

  • Access to jobs and training for young people (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 07 December 2005
    I have got some specifics, if I could follow up Marc with what you have said so far. My questions are about, one about process and I want to then target on particularly young people. Also, I just want to start off by touching on the amount that has been quoted. Many of us round here with the experience of local government and regeneration and skills arena, we know that £9 million ' I mean it is an awful thing to say ' does not buy much. In terms of this spend, the way that you are talking in generalities...
