  • Mitigating the Games-time Environmental Impact (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    I do not think you were at the ODA at the time, but the last time the ODA representatives came to the Assembly's Environment Committee we were promised a sustainability plan across the whole of the Olympic family would be out soon. That is really what I want to hear about. When is that coming out, if ever? What are the main features?
  • Mitigating the Games-time Environmental Impact (Supplementary) [7]

    • 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...
  • 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.
  • Budget (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 15 November 2006
    My question is to David. You mentioned the extra money for regeneration. Does that include investment in the local environmental legacy in the lower Lea Valley, in the canals and rivers?

    • Meeting date: 15 November 2006
    Does that include, specifically, investment in Prescott Lock or Prescott Channel?
  • Budget (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Brian Coleman
    • Meeting date: 15 November 2006
    In particular could you address the issue of VAT, Mr Higgins?
  • Stadium

    • Reference: 2006/0390-1
    • Question by: Brian Coleman
    • Meeting date: 15 November 2006
    Mr Lemley was particularly concerned about the impact of political disagreements on the future of the main stadium. Is this not a repeat of exactly what went wrong at Wembley? We are particularly referring to the issue of whether it should be an athletics stadium or a premier league football stadium.
  • Stratford City (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Brian Coleman
    • Meeting date: 14 June 2006
    You would not have thought that if you were on the Northern Line this morning.
  • Stratford City (Supplementary) [10]

    • Question by: Brian Coleman
    • Meeting date: 14 June 2006
    I think that brings us to the end of our hour and a half. Mr Higgins, the Assembly is deeply obliged to you for the time you have given this morning. Thank you very much.
  • Land Assembly and Preparation of the 2012 Olympic Games (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 14 June 2006
    Thank you. Mr Higgins, I am actually interested in the finances from a different angle, from the LOCOG angle. I assume the project management side is something you will be on top of as professionals. I just think, actually, on the income side there may have been one or two opportunities you may have missed. I mean the TV revenue side, for example, whilst it goes through LOCOG it sounds as though it is going to be a set amount rather than a set percentage. It sounds as though the next Olympics straight after the Beijing one is actually a...
