  • Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [12]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    Understood. Then, quite separately, as you also point out in your report, there is a separate police investigation into the Green Badge Taxi School which you are cooperating with?

    Yes, thank you very much, so that is an internal review. Your conclusions in the report, which I have read and which were submitted to the LDA Board, really put it in these terms, do they not, as Mike Tuffrey has said; in a nutshell, of the six you concentrated on, four require further work, three of those specifically involve the police and we do not know whether Brixton Base will involve the police or not because it is too early to say yet; you need to do further work. Is that a fair conclusion?

    But none of the organisations have received grants?

    Mr Travers, you have already made it clear, and I think it follows, that you did not speak to people who are not employees of the LDA. Does that mean you did not speak to Mr Jasper?

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    So, two thirds of the six you concentrated on require further work. You make the point in your report, 'Further work is required in respect of four organisations including referral to police and no conclusions are reached in respect of those matters' for the reasons you have sensibly set out?

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    First of all a specific point: there are standard phrases which occur in a number of paragraphs of the review, one that the review has identified weaknesses, in effect, in procedures which are now being addressed and, second, the point is made, I think, on three or four occasions about the way in which the Mayoral advisory role is conducted in respect of programme delivery should be clarified. What specific steps are you taking to carry forward those conclusions?

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    Have you referred it then fully to the District Auditor and said, 'We think there is further work that needs to be done'?

  • Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [24]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    Or any of the people who are involved in the running of the organisations, obviously?

    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    How are you going to conduct this sampling process?

    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    Not at this stage. Are you intending to then?
