• Question by: John Biggs
• Meeting date: 17 December 2014

John Biggs AM: Unfortunately, most of my time has been taken by a Member making unscripted interventions, because we did plan our time for today. I will try to be very brief. I have two areas. One is about what we call ‘cliff edges’ and it relates to the experience of the LLDC, where the purpose of the Olympics and its legacy is to benefit a far wider area. In answer to Stephen Knight [AM] who said that MDC money can be spent outside this area providing it meets its object, of course that begs the question of what the...

• Question by: Gareth Bacon MP
• Meeting date: 17 December 2014

Gareth Bacon AM: Just a quick word on representation. A number of Members have picked up the issue of transparency and representation on the board. You have made the, not unreasonable, point that it is a management board, not a local authority committee. Each borough will have one elected member, according to the Mayor’s consultation document. Could you reassure the Assembly that the boroughs concerned - although the Mayor will appoint them officially - will be free to nominate whoever they choose?

Jenny Jones AM: I have not been convinced by these arguments about keeping Wormwood Scrubs open space inside the MDC. The council that currently has it in their borough is against it.

Jenny Jones AM: Do you not think you should be interested in localism: that decisions for local people for local land should...

• Meeting date: 17 December 2014

Roger Evans AM (Chairman): Thank you. Now, the way we are going to do this, rather than tabling a lot of questions, we have just one question tabled in my name, and then we will take supplementaries from the rest of the Groups. The question that I have tabled is suitably wide to allow the debate to range across really the whole gamut of issues. The question that I am putting is: could you set out the likely benefits for London and the possible risks of the proposed MDC for Old Oak and Park Royal? Now, I accept you may...

• Question by: Andrew Boff
• Meeting date: 17 December 2014

Andrew Boff AM: Sir Edward, survey after survey shows that most of Londoners would prefer to live in street-level homes rather than high-rise developments. With the 350,000 children being brought up in overcrowded conditions it is clear that one of the aims for any MDC should be to alleviate some of those problems and provide more family homes. Can you confirm that the objectives of the proposed MDC will have a commitment to building street-level family homes?
