Creative Connexions brief and budget

John Robertson made this Freedom of Information request to London Development Agency

London Development Agency did not have the information requested.

From: John Robertson

7 October 2009

Dear Sir or Madam,
What is the LDA Budget for Creative Connexions?
What budget headings have they provided to justify it and their
other government funding?
What safegards prevent money intended to promote export of design
skills being used in fact to promote out-sourcing of production
from the UK and democratic countries to autocratic countries and
China?
Yours faithfully,

John Robertson

PS I read from the Creative Connexions web site
"The staff at the LDA’s offices in Beijing, China aim to promote
London to the local market and consumers. Beijing is China's
political, cultural and international exchange centre, and home to
the country’s central bank and other large-scale national financial
and insurance institutions."
