Printout of the OEDA case database in the form of a table, 28 July 2003. 171 pp, listing cases 2-3650 (with gaps) and cases 4001-10,000 (with extensive gaps), followed by a few rows with anomalous case numbers. This and other indicators suggest that there may have been a technical problem with the database.

The printout appears to have been generated to support OEDA's case for continued funding from Association of London Government (ALG; formerly the London Boroughs Grant Unit, LBGU), the organisation's main source of funding since 1983.

Includes:

• note from Nancy Tait proposing to use this printout, rather than the electronic database, to record important updates henceforth
