    Beyond the current deal with West Ham for use of the Olympic Stadium, what other major economic activities could the LLDC engage in to maximise return for the taxpayer?
  • Olympicopolis (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 11 March 2015
    Richard Tracey AM: Mr Mayor, we all know that this cultural centre is a real objective of yours, but can you just drill down into this and convince us that it is really the best form of regeneration for the east? This is a question that my colleague Andrew Boff [AM] would almost certainly have asked you had he been here.

    Mr Faulkner, has the minimum wage helped or hindered in your view?

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 19 July 2006
    I appreciate that the widely used definition of the poverty line is 60% of the median income. How was that originally arrived at, and is that an absolutely fixed definition?
  • Incidence and Nature of Poverty in London (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Brian Coleman
    • Meeting date: 19 July 2006
    Can I just come in and ask Mr Ross whether the Mayor has done any work on this? Has the Greater London Authority done any work on this?
  • Incidence and Nature of Poverty in London (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Brian Coleman
    • Meeting date: 19 July 2006
    Before I bring in Mr Tuffrey, I wonder, Mr Faulkner, whether you would like to make a contribution about the role of the Chamber of Commerce, and particularly, I know, your particular expertise on the Skills and Employment Forum, and the role it is playing in reducing poverty?
  • Incidence and Nature of Poverty in London (Supplementary) [10]

    • Question by: Brian Coleman
    • Meeting date: 19 July 2006
    I am happy to take a response from you, Mr Faulkner, but I do not want to discuss the merits of the Oyster card.
  • Incidence and Nature of Poverty in London (Supplementary) [15]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 19 July 2006
    No, no, indeed, because I think that is an important point, because I think that in the mindset of the public it is confusing when you hear that x percent of people in London are technically living at or below the poverty line. I wondered if that definition would still be applicable if the median income rose considerably in London. One might feel that the definition was less, then, to do with poverty. I suppose I am asking you: are we talking about relative poverty as opposed to absolute poverty?
  • Role of Faith Groups in Tackling Hard to Reach Groups (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 19 July 2006
    Bishop, I wonder if you think that the function of the church ought to be more proactive? Things you have just been talking about; advice groups and playgroups and all of that kind of thing, is that that people all come to you, ought you not to be going to the people?

    • Meeting date: 19 July 2006
    Is being more effective you going out and knocking on people's doors, saying: `You are poor. You need help from us. You need our charity'?
