    • Question by: Damian Hockney

    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.

    • 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.

    So it will not go to CLM (CH2M Hill International, Laing O'Rourke, Mace)? They will not be the people who will do it?

    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?

  • Marshgate Lane Compulsory Purchase Orders (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Damian Hockney
    • Meeting date: 07 December 2005
    Thank you for that. All the businesses I have spoken to, including of course Pullmans et al, have all said that there is no circumstance in which they -- they are clearly aware and they had never asked. Can you confirm then that some businesses have asked for amounts of four, five, six times the amount? Have they, because you have not actually answered that question? You said they have aspirations but the point is that the Mayor said that people ' in a very public statement in the Sun newspaper ' that they are asking, many businesses are asking...

    • Meeting date: 07 December 2005
