    How concerned are you with the recent performance of London Underground?
  • Performance of London Underground (Supplementary) [1]

    I think that is reassuring and I am sure the IOC and Londoners will be reassured by that. In the event that there is a failure, say, on the Jubilee line during the games and you have people at the Olympic Park wanting to get down to the north Greenwich arena, will you allow spectators to travel for free on the cable car as a quick means to travel?
  • Performance of London Underground (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
    • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
    That was out of LU's control. Have you assured yourself that measures are in place? We have heard about the blue-light team and all the things you told us last week, and Peter and others have told us. How have you assured yourself and the IOC that things are in place and that people will be able to get around?
  • Performance of London Underground (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
    • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
    I think the last thing any of us want is images being beamed around the world of spectators having to be walked down the tracks and tunnels due to a broken-down train or some signalling problem or whatever, and particularly we have now heard that Jacques Rogge, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) President, may even occasionally be travelling by the Tube thanks to the pressures from you and others.
  • Performance of London Underground (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
    • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
    Thanks to the pressure by yourself and others no doubt. Are you concerned that such failures on the Underground at Games time could lead to worldwide embarrassment and what are you personally doing to assure yourself that the system is going to be working as well as it can throughout the Games?
  • Approving and Planning Foreign Travel (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    Is not the truth here that there is no planning? This has mushroomed completely out of control. Until we started asking questions you and the Mayor did not know the volume of it. We are told that since we started asking questions he in particular has been amazed at the volume of travelling going on.
  • Approving and Planning Foreign Travel (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    That is not the point I am raising.
  • Approving and Planning Foreign Travel (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    What is behind it is I do not believe there is actually any monitoring and tracking.
  • Approving and Planning Foreign Travel (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    Can I return to planning and approval and ask Simon Fletcher what monitoring is done as part of the planning and approval process as to the volume of overseas travel?
