This week it's been frustratingly hard trying to get to the bottom of the deal that is being finalised between the LDA and central government over the transfer of Olympics land and debt.
On Tuesday Peter Bishop deputy chief executive of the LDA told a London Assembly meeting that details of the deal, which will see the agency transfer the land acquired for the 2012 Olympics Game and associated debt transferred to central government, could not be discussed ahead of an imminent announcement.
Bishop suggested that the announcement would be made at a Board meeting of the LDA at Palestra the next day (Wednesday).
In fact, at the Wednesday meeting the LDA said the deal had still not been agreed and an announcement would be made in a specially convened Budget meeting soon.
Oh well, such a large transfer of money and debt was never going to be agreed quickly I guess and it all suggests that a solution is not too far away.
More difficult to understand is Bishop's suggestion that a figure of around £500m was being offered by central government for the LDA's Olympics land.
Given that the LDA's most recent figures reported that, in the period to end of 2008, the agency had spent £936m on land assembly and remediation for the Olympic Park one senses that Treasury is driving a very hard bargain.
