  • Impact of Olympics on MPS Budget

    • Reference: 2007/0113-1
    • Question by: Damian Hockney
    • Meeting date: 07 November 2007
    Can you please supply a summary of the impact of the 2012 Olympics on the MPS Budget between now and 2013? There have been suggestions that some aspects of security in the Budget for 2012 are not allowed for in either the MPS Budget or the revised 2012 Budget. Please can you state what is being done to ensure that London council tax payers will not be required to fund this expenditure.

  • Carbon offsetting

    • Reference: 2007/0114-1
    • Question by: Damian Hockney
    • Meeting date: 07 November 2007
    How much has the MPS spent on 'carbon offsetting' between 2004 and 2007, and is it not absurd that the EU will in future force us to pay VAT on these additional costs to the taxpayer?

  • Notting Hilll Carnival

    • Reference: 2007/0115
    • Question by: Damian Hockney
    • Meeting date: 07 November 2007
    Policing at Notting Hill Carnival was successful but there remain flashpoints (in particular at the end of the final day). Having been present and witnessed some of these difficulties at first hand, I can confirm that there is general agreement that the MPS handled them well, and that earlier intelligence-led operations and planning decisions had a very positive impact, but is there anything further that can be done to try and prevent the Monday problems?

  • Potential for Further Budget Increases (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Damian Hockney
    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    Sir Roy, how much of the £500 million construction contingency has so far been earmarked to be spent? There has been a lot of talk about this and a lot of rumours in the industry.

  • Potential for Further Budget Increases (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Damian Hockney
    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    My only point really on this is that it is in that area where costs can so easily run away. In the industry, there are rumours; you speak to any of the major contractors or the journalists in the area, and they will tell you that £350 million of the £500 million has so far been earmarked, and that insiders within the ODA have told them this.

  • Potential for Further Budget Increases (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Damian Hockney
    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    So it will not go to CLM (CH2M Hill International, Laing O'Rourke, Mace)? They will not be the people who will do it?

  • Potential for Further Budget Increases (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Damian Hockney
    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    The fact that so few people appear to have tendered for the Aquatic Centre does that not concern you in terms of possibilities?

  • Potential for Further Budget Increases (Supplementary) [14]

    • Question by: Damian Hockney
    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    So if that £500 million contingency can last up to the end of next year, then how much more of the overall contingency budget that the Government has aside, which has been the cause of so much controversy, do you think you will need?

  • Legacy (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Peter Hulme Cross
    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    So there will be a tenant, somebody who will use that facility afterwards?

  • Legacy (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Peter Hulme Cross
    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    What about the International Broadcast Centre and the Media and Press Centre? You are going to build a huge facility there. What happens when the circus has moved on, what are you going to do with it?
