  • Meeting with Tom Smith (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 09 December 2009
    Mr Mayor, you have just been asked about the relationship between yourself and ATOC on matters of the Freedom Pass and the costs. This morning London Councils has flagged up - and you may have seen it in its newsletter - its worries about ATOC asking for extra money to pay for the Freedom Pass. Now, Caroline [Pidgeon] was asking about 24 hours as I understood it but, apparently, ATOC is asking for more money for the Freedom Pass in any case when it is used on the mainline services. Are you talking to London Councils about their worries on...
  • Olympic Route Network

    • Reference: 2009/0118-1
    • Question by: Andrew Boff
    • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
    In the light of Jacques Rogge's statement that the Olympic Route Network is not essential, will the ODA reconsider imposing the ORN on Londoners?
  • Living Wage (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Brian Coleman
    • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
    Mr Armitt, let us just get this straight. You approved Mr Higgins' package which is £641,000 a year, but your own package is £250,000. That is part time isn't it?
  • Risks (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
    Thank you, Chair. I would have thought one of the greatest risks that you actually run is the security of the site during build and, indeed, during the Games itself. Are you content that the structure, where you have got Ian Johnson now heading security, I assume within the Park? I am not sure if he has got responsibility for all the 134 sites plus the free to view Games. You have got him there. You have got the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) through Chris Allison [Assistant Commissioner, Central Operations, Metropolitan Police Service] and the public order with the responsibility...
  • Olympic Route Network (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Victoria Borwick
    • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
    A couple of quick questions if I may. Could you just confirm that the vehicles operating on the Olympic Route Network will all be disability compliant? The next question is perhaps you could update us on the blue light services and what planning you will make to make sure that they adjust their route planning models because we know there is a limited amount of time and they need to get themselves organised? The final question is when would you reveal which of the ORN roads have exclusive Olympic lanes?
  • Budget and Venues Update (Supplementary) [11]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    On Tuesday at his press conference the Mayor said, 'The Aquatics Centre will be built on time and to budget.' Now, we are all aware that two days late is not good enough. Which budget do you think he is talking about?
  • Budget and Venues Update (Supplementary) [17]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    Can I thank you for that and indeed welcome you to the Assembly for the first time. I am aware of both your and Mr Higgins' industrial backgrounds and I am also aware of what you inherited when you took on the role that you have got now. I am conscious that you are sorting things out rather than ploughing a field from fresh. Last Friday the Mayor in an interview said, 'Crossrail is not like the Olympics; we made a guess about the Olympics and had to work it out afterwards.' How close are you now to getting it...
  • Budget and Venues Update (Supplementary) [19]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    I understand the commercial sensitivity but you will also be aware that the Aquatics Centre is perhaps foremost in Londoners' minds at the moment. It is the changing budget there which gives people concern. It erodes confidence. We know the overall budget has gone from £2.3 billion to over £9 billion, plus the costs of assembling the land, and Londoners have this lack of confidence in the figures that are being given. When we see that the Aquatics Centre has gone up from £75 million to £150 million, yet the roof size is being reduced from 35,000 square foot to...
  • Legacy of the 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games

    • Reference: 2007/0011-1
    • Question by: Brian Coleman
    • Meeting date: 15 February 2007
    Please can you state, briefly and in concrete terms, what you personally define as the most important legacy of the Games for London?

    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 15 November 2006
    Thank you for that reassurance.
