Expenses and the use of corporate credit cards by mayoral appointees September 2009
The information used in compiling the report is available below: Response to Head of Paid Service consultation on Organising for Delivery proposalsMay 2009 Our response begins with a consideration of the original reasons for the reorganisation of the GLA and the extent to which they have been reflected in the proposals. The remainder of our response is structured around the principles underpinning the proposals and the extent to which they have been effectively applied. We trust that this response will provide a useful and constructive contribution to the process. Standing up for London: London Assembly Annual Report 2008-09May 2009 Annual report 2009 summary - PDF The second London Assembly annual report sets out the work we have in the year since Londoners elected a new Assembly, along with a new Mayor. This report gives a brief summary of that work with details of how to find out more if you are interested in a particular subject. We have grouped our work around eight subject headings. The first details how the Assembly has probed the actions of the Mayor, and his senior advisers and appointees, and examined the finances and performance of the Greater London Authority Group (which includes the Metropolitan Police Authority, Transport for London, the London Fire & Emergency Planning Authority and the London Development Agency). The remaining sections reflect the priorities Londoners identified in the GLA’s annual London Survey: Safety and Policing; Housing and Planning; Transport; Health and Community; London’s Economy; Environment and Climate Change; and The Games. Response to the Mayor's draft Equalities FrameworkMarch 2009 The Assembly's response aims to make constructive recommendations to contribute to the development and implementation of the Mayor's draft equalities framework. Summaries of discussions with equalities officers, media representatives and SERTUC, undertaken as background to the response, are also available to view.

London Development Agency Grants – an Interim Statement of Concerns from the London AssemblyMarch 2008 In accordance with a motion passed at its meeting on 5 March 2008, the London Assembly has published an interim statement of concerns about London Development Agency grants. Prepared for the worst? Promoting business continuity to small businesses Over 98 per cent of London's businesses are small, employing fewer than twenty people, but most are under-prepared to survive a major incident or emergency, our report warns. It found that only one in three have a business continuity plan in place, compared to almost two in three larger organisations. The reports hails the establishment of the Business Continuity Promotion Steering Group (BCPSG) as an excellent opportunity to build on existing good practice by boroughs, and ensure work is co-ordinated across London. The report’s key recommendations are:
Evidence received during the investigation from all 33 London boroughs and a range of other key stakeholders is available to download (please note that the following PDF files contain scanned documents): Responses to 7 July Review Committee's follow-up reportDecember 2007 The 7 July Review Committee has published the latest responses to the recommendations contained in its report of June 2006 and follow-up report of August 2007.

The report assesses how much progress has been made towards improving the systems and equipment that are available to respond to a terrorist attack, or other major incident, in London. Evidence received from key organisations since November 2006 is also available to download: British Transport Police (BTP) City of London Police (CoLP) London Ambulance Service (LAS) London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority (LFEPA) Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) Transport for London (TfL) Report of the 7 July Review CommitteeJune 2006 The 7 July Review Committee was set up to examine the lessons to be learned from the response to the London bombings on 7 July, and in particular communications issues. It contains a detailed analysis of the response to the bombings. There is no doubting the courage and determination of many thousands of individuals who responded to the attacks on London on 7 July. But while the people involved performed outstandingly, the systems and equipment that were supposed to support them did not. Our report makes 54 recommendations designed to improve the way such major incidents, and the people caught up in them, are managed Contact: Janet Hughes, email janet.hughes@london.gov.uk Audit and Inspection in LondonMarch 2006 The Audit and Inspection Committee has published its report in response to the government consultation on inspection reform. The report recommends that:
Contact: Kerry Lorimer, email kerry.lorimer@london.gov.uk Reaching Out - Is the Mayor Listening?April 2002 The London Assembly is committed to ensuring that the GLA is an exemplar for public consultation. In his election manifesto, the Mayor promised to ‘introduce the most open, accessible and inclusive style of government ever in the UK’. This report examines the extent to which he has met that promise. It finds that, while there has been some good work undertaken by GLA officers, the Mayor’s appreciation of the benefits of consultation is limited and his personal views do not seem to tally with his early commitments. The Committee believes that the Mayor needs to renew his commitment to listen to Londoners. The report recommends the development of a clear corporate Consultation Strategy, greater provision of information about opportunities to participate, more feedback on how responses have been considered as part of the decision-making process, and proper evaluation of the effectiveness of the Mayor’s consultation activities. |
