International offices

  • Reference: 2008/1220
  • Question by: John Biggs
  • Meeting date: 18 June 2008
In reviewing the viability of the GLA's overseas offices in India, China and Brussels, will you bear in mind that the promotion of London overseas is a vital responsibility for us to maintain our competitive advantage, in facilitating trade and attracting inward investment. Do you acknowledge that a review that looks merely at the costs of running these offices may risk overlooking the benefits that they bring and that London's economy relies on? Why did you pre-empt your wider review of offices in the case of Caracas and does that indicate a balanced approach or was it a political act...
