  • Mitigating the Games-time Environmental Impact (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    You just mentioned wind power and I gather there is an issue about possible permission for a wind turbine on the site. Will you be able to hit your 20% renewable targets if the wind turbine is turned down? Have I misunderstood that issue?
  • Mitigating the Games-time Environmental Impact (Supplementary) [6]

    Is that over and above the 20% renewable target?

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    Can I just go back to the water transport issue which, David, you raised? I am glad you mentioned Prescott Lock, which was welcomed certainly by many members of the London Waterways Commission. It is just that we would like to see more specific targets to drive that and I think that would give it a lot more focus. Also on water transport, there are parties like the Port of London Authority which are keen to look at passenger movements from the Olympic site to the O2 site; they do think that would encourage boat services north to south of...
  • Mayor's Report (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 18 November 2006
    Thank you for your verbal report. No doubt, there will be some follow-up from others who are on the MPA about clarifications for your conversations with the Home Secretary, and the West London Tram will be brought up later on in subsequent questions. The thing I wanted to do was actually just congratulate GLA Events and Media team for doing a very good event on Sunday at Trafalgar Square.
  • Freedom Pass Restrictions (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 18 November 2006
    I mentioned about the hospital because in times of illness, that is something that stays with people, because of all the other factors, but there are other spin-offs as well. Somebody told me recently that when you look at elders, they are not able to use the holiday schemes that are on offer, because many of those--
  • London Planning Survey - ALG (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 18 November 2006
    Do you know that is a bit rich, really, coming from you, saying that things are being dealt with for party political reasons. Many people would say that the London Plan and your amendment is driving forward a political agenda; for example, your policy relating to affordable housing. That is a political matter. In the opening statement which you made this morning, you talked about your casual attitude to events being rather more casual than, how shall I put it, more formal parts of Government. The truth of the matter is -
  • Jack Lemley (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Damian Hockney
    • Meeting date: 15 November 2006
    Given the fact that Jack Lemley has actually raised these points, as Sir Roy (McNulty) and you have said during meetings beforehand, there is clearly a problem. I now see somebody senior leaving and, as a former journalist, I read and hear what I would regard as smear stories against Jack Lemley, which are clearly coming from somewhere, either from Government or are any of these stories about him coming from your office? I am not going to repeat them because I believe they are defamatory, but there was an article in Private Eye which is completely, as far as...
  • Jack Lemley (Supplementary) [17]

    • Question by: Brian Coleman
    • Meeting date: 15 November 2006
    Mr Higgins, I am grateful for that. Could you address Mr Hockney's point of why we learn about these problems, which Sir Roy (McNulty) has referred to, in effect from The Idaho Statesman. I think that is the point of Mr Hockney's question. Damian Hockney (AM): It is, yes. Brian Coleman (Chairman): I would be grateful if you would address that.
  • Jack Lemley (Supplementary) [22]

    • Question by: Damian Hockney
    • Meeting date: 15 November 2006
    Sir Roy, you said just now about being on track, but one of the most key elements of being on track is the budget. Mr Higgins, when you came to us in June, I said to you, and I quote, `In the next six to nine months there are likely to be problems. Will we have the same cooperation in flagging up any problems which occur; the possibility of any delays and, most importantly, the cost implications?' When you came to us you talked about everything being very good and I pointed out that I thought it was a honeymoon...
  • Stadium (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 15 November 2006
    I am interested to hear you say that all of that was agreed in the summer, because on 24 October you told the Cultural Committee here, `If we can get football clubs in there to help mitigate the operating costs, we will certainly be open to that'. Richard Caborn (Minister for Sport), on 21 October, said in the Guardian, `There is very serious negotiation going on between West Ham and the Olympic Authorities about the stadium'. Are you ruling football in or football out?
