    How are you going to conduct this sampling process?

    Just to clear up the point about when the report was released I think it went to the Board at 9 am or so and the press release came out 3 pm or 4 pm. I could not get the report itself off the LDA website until close to 7 pm on a Friday evening.

    Can you understand, Manny, that Londoners will be rather foxed by a response of that kind; that you did not go to the source of the information which has been published and ask directly, and that you have merely dealt with it really at this remote distance?

    When you say that you are making all of the files available, will you understand our scepticism when earlier this year the Assembly's Economic Development, Culture, Sport and Tourism Committee asked lots of questions about the Bernie Grant Centre and we were originally told that there were only a few sheets of information available but then, when we asked for the matter to be investigated more closely, 40 cartons of papers were made available? It is very difficult for us on that basis to know what precisely is going to be the full information that you hold.

    Very well, Mr Lewis. Why did you then put out a press release which is put in these terms, in the light of what Mr Travers has just told us and in the light of the report which I take it you had read: 'Allegations of LDA corruption false'? Referring to the allegations in the first paragraph it says, 'The review finds these to be unfounded'? It does not do anything of the kind, does it?

  • Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    So, as far you are concerned, with the exception of the ones that have been referred to the police, is this the end of the matter?

  • Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    I think it is very telling that you did not approach the people making the allegations for clear evidence so that you could actually do this review properly. Therefore I am not convinced, and I do not think Londoners will be convinced, that you have done a proper review.

    • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    Will you just confirm, for the record, that I passed on a casework complaint to you, Manny, in 2005 regarding the Green Badge Taxi School and we had a considerable amount of correspondence; and that as a result there was an external audit commissioned of the organisation and the grant that was given? In response to that, you called in external legal advice and you sent a copy of that to me finally in April 2007, and at that time I felt that you had dealt with the complaint as thoroughly as could be done at the time.
