    A number of times the phrase is used that you found 'no evidence'. It is difficult to ask you to prove a negative but I think it would be helpful to have assurances about the thoroughness of the review. Could you tell me about what interviews and discussions there were with staff, with representatives from the projects and so on?

  • Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [30]

    • Question by: Sally Hamwee
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    The report refers to, I quote, 'Having identified weaknesses in LDA project management and record keeping'. Does that lead you to have concern about other projects? Are you intending to carry out any reviews or audit work on other projects?

  • Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [33]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    The concern that I would have here is that we have very serious concerns and allegations being raised by ' whatever you might say ' the Evening Standard, as being the publication in London, yet you did not approach them for any further evidence that they have made in terms of their allegations to do this internal review.
