  • Experience (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Navin Shah
    • Meeting date: 14 November 2012
    OK. Thank you, Chair. The question is to Lord Coe. You recall we had some disagreements about Dow's sponsorship. I want to talk about that. You mentioned throughout our discussions that despite the available evidence, Dow had no case to answer according to you because you claimed that full and final settlement had been made. Is this an issue you would have done differently? Your position, in my view, certainly was wholly unsustainable.

    • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
    Mr Mayor, you gave a commitment to make London 2012, the London Games, the most accessible Games ever.

    • Meeting date: 20 June 2012

The question is that station, as well as Harrow on the Hill, whatever the cost is, the fact is, if you are serious about regeneration, if you are serious about making those stations accessible, then you have to give us a programme as to when we can expect something being done.

    • Question by: Navin Shah
    • Meeting date: 20 June 2012

    • Question by: Navin Shah
    • Meeting date: 19 November 2008
    Cultural diversity of London was seen as a great strength and virtue of our bid for London 2012, something which we understand clinched the success that we have had in getting the bid. What I would like to know is what progress has been made towards showcasing and promoting this unique strength that London offers and what is the current status of that?
