  • Living Wage (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
    Could I take up one point with you on the whole relative costs of salaries and so on? Mr Higgins, you, I think, serve with seven other directors on the ODA, receiving pretty substantial salaries. Indeed, I believe you, this last year, did forego half of your bonus until 2012. Would it be reasonable for you and your fellow directors to consider foregoing your complete bonus until you have finished the job, and then receive whatever you are entitled to, through the success you have achieved?
  • Legacy (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Andrew Boff
    • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
    You set the target for 7% of the workforce being previously unemployed. The data that you collected relied on a voluntary question of the staff being employed and only 25% of your workforce actually replied to that question. Are you absolutely convinced that you have hit that target of 7% and that you are claiming 10%? Are you convinced that those are accurate representations of how many people were previously unemployed?
  • Olympic Route Network (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
    The Mayor, of course, has an aspiration that, wherever possible, the officials should use public transport. Now the media are in Bloomsbury, I believe, near the bullet train, so will they use that? Many of the officials will be close to the Central line. Will they use that?
  • Budget and Venues Update (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    You won't be working and planning on the Aquatics Centre alone. You are also looking at the other stadia as well. Are they also going through this natural growth process with the budget?
  • Budget and Venues Update (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    Can I ask you what reasons they have given for withdrawing?
  • Budget and Venues Update (Supplementary) [9]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    You knew about that. I mean, everybody knew about the land.
  • Budget and Venues Update (Supplementary) [10]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    Are you saying then that within the budget which is within your control come 2012, there will be no further pool for uplift for that budget? You will not exceed that budget?
  • Budget and Venues Update (Supplementary) [12]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    We are back to the Mayor's guess work, are we?
  • Budget and Venues Update (Supplementary) [13]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    How can we as an Assembly then monitor and spread confidence to Londoners about what is happening if over a period of time the projects are changing and we are not comparing like with like? I recognise the 2004 bid book did not include VAT, did not include build costs, did not include inflation.
  • Budget and Venues Update (Supplementary) [14]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    I understand all that, but London can expect no more shocks then?
