Olympic Village and Legacy (Supplementary) [1]

  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 08 October 2008
I was worried that there was a strong emphasis, quite rightly so of course, in legacy terms towards temporary and permanent developments and also the future options for the development projects, but not much at all about architectural legacy and heritage in terms of high quality of design etc. I am reassured now from the comments Mr Higgins made about the attempt being made, in terms of the whole process that you have developed, in getting better design and also your reference to the Barcelona Masterplan and so on. I am really seeking reassurance and an assurance for Londoners and...

Olympic Village (Supplementary) [1]

  • Question by: John Biggs
  • Meeting date: 08 October 2008
Can I ask one tiny supplementary which is a little bit tangential? I understand that Queen Mary College - which is a university round the corner from where I live and just down the road from Stratford - has made its student village - about 3,000 properties - available for the entirety of the Olympics. Is that in some way making up for the shortfall in accommodation that is likely to be built at Stratford?

Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [36]

  • Question by: Peter Hulme Cross
  • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
My question follows on from what Tony Arbour and Bob Blackman were saying. You said that you have interviewed existing staff but you have not interviewed staff who no longer work for the organisation, one of whom, Maxine Jones, also made some allegations. There were two whistleblowers: Brenda Stern and Maxine Jones. You have said, 'The review has found that this allegation is incorrect'. In order to reach that conclusion it would seem to me that you would have to talk to both of those two people.

  • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
Can we just be clear; you have not interviewed Lee Jasper or anyone else from the Mayor's Office, is that correct?

  • Question by: Bob Neill
  • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
You then you go on to say, in fairness to you, 'Subject to that further work' ' subject to that ' 'the review to date has not revealed evidence of fraud' etc. That is all subject to that further work being required, as you fairly stated in your report to the Board?
