  • Budget Commitments to Green Group (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 13 December 2006
    Given that both the Conservative Party and the Liberal Democrat Party only want to build half a Thames Gateway bridge I think it is quite reasonable there should be a lively discussion on the issue! I think in both cases they like the northern part, but not the southern part. That is politics for you! Would you agree that you are the greenest Local Authority Leader in the country and that green voters should celebrate the fact that they have voted for you in the past and should think hard before supporting another candidate in the future?
  • Notting Hill Carnival (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Damian Hockney
    • Meeting date: 13 September 2006
    Mayor, if you do not want to run Carnival, why run an event like the Showcase? If you look at Angie's (Bray) question just now this links into it You said initially in the first authorisation, that it would cost the GLA (Greater London Authority) £68,000. We then move on ' a few weeks later ' the day before the Carnival and we are told that Bliss Events are going to be paid £150,000.
  • Notting Hill Carnival (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Damian Hockney
    • Meeting date: 13 September 2006
    This is relevant Chair I assure you, honestly. Initially, you say that the balance of £230,000 would be met by sponsorship income and income from stalls. We tried even right up until the day before to find out where this is coming, and finally we learn, last week, that it is the LDA (London Development Agency) that is spending.
