  • Catering at Games' Venues (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
    Will your Food Strategy apply to all of the Olympic venues? I mean not just those within the Park but Weybridge, Broxbourne, Dorney Wood, Manchester United's football ground. Will it apply to all of them, even those commercial premises which you are hiring in for the period of the Games?

  • Risks (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
    Thank you. One of your reputational risks hangs on the slogan that was used throughout the bidding process, after we got it and until today, which is 'The most accessible Games ever'. It is delivering the most accessible Games ever which you will be judged by, in many ways. Now it is relatively easy to deliver accessible Games within six stadia, however there are a number of - what I believe is called - free to view events; pentathlons, long distance walking, marathons, for those who are not aware. How are you going to ensure that the mobility impaired and...

  • 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) [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?

  • Budget and Venues Update (Supplementary) [20]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    London can expect no more shocks?

  • Budget and Venues Update (Supplementary) [26]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    I understand that, but if Londoners might end up picking up the bill for the gap of £75 million then perhaps they might be interested in it. Are we comparing like for like now in terms of what the original bid was? I understand an access bridge has now been added to the Aquatics Centre and that has clearly inflated the budget for the Aquatics Centre. Whilst we talk about an Aquatics Centre now, as we did some time ago, we are not actually talking about the same project, are we?

  • Budget and Venues Update (Supplementary) [35]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    I am aware of that and you have got two or three years of critical paths of analysis of where you have got to be and all the rest of it. Where are you on the budget with these other buildings?
