  • Recommendations for future Olympic Park Housing

    • Reference: 2012/0224-1
    • Question by: Andrew Boff
    • Meeting date: 14 November 2012
    In September I published a report, Radically Normal, making recommendations for how the plans for the future housing on the Olympic Park can be improved. Will you endorse these recommendations and commit to ensuring that more, larger, high-quality family-sized homes are built to the highest environmental standards?
  • Physical Legacy of the Olympic Park (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 14 November 2012
    Richard Tracey (AM): Boris, you have heard the discussion in John Biggs' question about the Stadium and indeed Dennis Hone told us at the Budget and Performance Committee that he believed it would be 2015 or 2016 before the Stadium could reopen. Can I ask you as the Chairman of the LLDC as well as the Mayor, will you set an objective of opening it before that point? I quite agree with John Biggs and the point has been made elsewhere. It would be a bit shameful if we could not reopen it before Rio has completely finished its Olympics.
  • Vision for the LLDC (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 14 November 2012
    Roger Evans (AM): Thank you. Mr Mayor, can you just tell us how far outside the boundary of the Olympic Park your vision is going to extend?
  • Climate Change Action Plan and London's Buildings

    • Reference: 2008/0001

    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    How does the Mayor intend to meet his environmental and housing objectives?
  • Climate Change Action Plan and London's Buildings (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    Do you not find that they are absolutely grotesque to look at? I am a great one for doing what can be done but I also believe that the best way to encourage people to do the right thing is to make it possible for them to do the right thing. Is it not going to be absolutely vital that we get these light bulbs designed in a way that is acceptable to people because the light is appalling and they look absolutely grotesque?
  • Climate Change Action Plan and London's Buildings (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    Thank you very much. You have told us lots about your good intentions and your principles and so on - and indeed about 90% of what you have said was about your intentions - but not what you have actually achieved. That really is rather like the expenditure that there has been on these programmes. Is it good value for money that, of the £2.7 million that has been spent on the Green Homes programme, £2.2 million of that has been spent on publicity and only £300,000 on actual insulation grant? Would you not say that the whole thing is...
  • Climate Change Action Plan and London's Buildings (Supplementary) [10]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    It is very important that people have a practical solution to these light bulbs. I am genuinely asking whether we are going to get some improvements in the light bulb that might persuade people that they are not such a disastrous thing to move over to. That is what I am trying to get at.

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    I was just wondering about these light bulbs. Nicky, have you completely gone over to these hideous new light bulbs? Has your house completely gone over to them now?
  • Climate Change Action Plan and London's Buildings (Supplementary) [12]

    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    The truth of the matter is, and this really is to the Deputy Mayor, that this was a publicity campaign. There was never any belief that there would be a substantial take'up, as indeed there was not a substantial take-up. It is a fact that every single one of the campaigns that you have had which do not involve compulsion relating to saving energy has been a complete failure. I wonder if I can put to you the amount of money that you have spent on Recycle for London; the Mayor has spent almost £1 million on this over the...
  • GLA Bill Amendments (Supplementary) [12]

    • Question by: Brian Coleman
    • Meeting date: 13 December 2006
    Madam Deputy Mayor, on a point of order. Unfortunately I do not think we did agree it unanimously, I think the One London Group were opposed to that if my memory serves me right.
