  • Potential for Further Budget Increases (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Damian Hockney
    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    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.

  • Potential for Further Budget Increases (Supplementary) [2]

    • 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. In the industry, there are rumours; you speak to any of the major contractors or the journalists in the area, and they will tell you that £350 million of the £500 million has so far been earmarked, and that insiders within the ODA have told them this.

  • Potential for Further Budget Increases (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Damian Hockney
    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    So it will not go to CLM (CH2M Hill International, Laing O'Rourke, Mace)? They will not be the people who will do it?

  • Potential for Further Budget Increases (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Damian Hockney
    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    The fact that so few people appear to have tendered for the Aquatic Centre does that not concern you in terms of possibilities?

  • Potential for Further Budget Increases (Supplementary) [14]

    • Question by: Damian Hockney
    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    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?

  • Legacy (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Peter Hulme Cross
    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    So there will be a tenant, somebody who will use that facility afterwards?

  • Legacy (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Peter Hulme Cross
    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    What about the International Broadcast Centre and the Media and Press Centre? You are going to build a huge facility there. What happens when the circus has moved on, what are you going to do with it?

  • Potential for Further Budget Increases

    • Reference: 2007/0026-1
    • Question by: Damian Hockney
    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    Can you guarantee that there will be no further increase in the ODA budget announced by Tessa Jowell in March?

  • Food (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Peter Hulme Cross
    • Meeting date: 10 October 2006
    Can I put in a plea that whatever food is provided will be reasonably priced? I know that this is somewhat subjective and what some people might consider reasonable, others may not. However, clearly where people have a monopoly, there is a huge temptation to charge whatever they like. Another thing: can I put in a plea for water to be provided free of charge because at the Athens Games, if you went in, they actually confiscated your water bottle if you had one with you. I was horrified. I think that is really important that at least plain water...

  • LOCOG Budget (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Peter Hulme Cross
    • Meeting date: 10 October 2006
    If you are suddenly confronted with the need for extra security, and so your security bill goes up beyond expectations or perhaps your ticket sales do not live up to expectations and you have a shortfall, so you are left at the end of the day with a budget over-run, who covers it and can you give an absolute assurance that it will not be London council tax payers?
