Do you feel that the LDA has got these sort of green industry issues and recycling issues, or use of recyclers, high enough up on its agenda, and is tackling it the way that you, from your perspective, want it to be tackled?

• Question by: Meg Hillier
• Meeting date: 13 November 2002

Which brings me on to - are you happy with the way the LDA is both evaluating that and planning to work with it in future?

Sorry, you use the Assembly Committee to do your evaluation?

• Question by: Meg Hillier
• Meeting date: 13 November 2002

So, (1) you're hoping and (2) how are you making sure, you say it's successful, how are you measuring its success? It's something we want to be successful, but what's your criteria for evaluating it?

Can I ask John and Victor, do either of you think that recycling rates in relation to municipal waste disposal will be helped by scrapping wheelie bins?

Do you think there is scope for work in the business community?

Can I then ask how this applies in the case of the £400,000 that is going to the GLA for the start of the London Awareness campaign, and in particular, is this going to extend beyond residents - because we've rather been talking in terms of residents - and extend to businesses and business waste, trade refuse?

• Question by: Sally Hamwee
• Meeting date: 13 November 2002

And do you have a programme for evaluating the successes?

• Question by: Sally Hamwee
• Meeting date: 13 November 2002

So, when you're assessing the bids, you're working to those criteria of the committee?

• Question by: Sally Hamwee
• Meeting date: 13 November 2002

I entirely understand what you're saying about partnership requiring some give and take. It doesn't always make for the happiest committee, but can I understand - are there published criteria that the boroughs can look to, to understand whether in the next round of bidding they are likely to be successful?
