  • Climate Change (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 24 October 2007
    Can I just pursue this point, to agree with Jenny's point - the fuel poverty point - that by focusing on the affordable housing you get an added social benefit, but the Strategy focuses on the larger strategic developments. Isn't there a lot more that we can be doing given that I think the statistic is that 98% of all residential completions in the last year for which figures were available, were fewer than 100. By focusing on the larger ones we are missing the greater number. Are you satisfied that enough is going on to get the standards up...

  • Approving and Planning Foreign Travel (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    Is not the truth here that there is no planning? This has mushroomed completely out of control. Until we started asking questions you and the Mayor did not know the volume of it. We are told that since we started asking questions he in particular has been amazed at the volume of travelling going on.

    That is not the point I am raising.

  • Approving and Planning Foreign Travel (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    What is behind it is I do not believe there is actually any monitoring and tracking.

  • Approving and Planning Foreign Travel (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    Can I return to planning and approval and ask Simon Fletcher what monitoring is done as part of the planning and approval process as to the volume of overseas travel?

    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    I take it that Jenny is bosom buddies with the Mayor!

  • Achievements from the GLA's Work on the Economic Promotion of London (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    Indeed we do not want a gap year Mayor, and I did say that, but I also said, and so it is a little deplorable if you misquote me and partially quote me, what I also said 'was that Ken Livingstone has a duty to stick up for London and to support London's economy. We support specific foreign trips that encourage investment in the capital. However, after the Mayor's failed junkets to Cuba and Venezuela I will be keeping a close eye on the costs and purpose of the trip so that Londoners get value for money. That is what...

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    Then why did the Mayor have to write to John Hutton to clarify the point? Either you knew before you launched the scheme that there was not a problem, or you did not. You did not, because you had to check.

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    I am glad I have this power to force the Mayor to write to people! Could we just return to the question.

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    It is terrific you are now coming out with all these KPIs. We have not got time this morning to go into whether they are legitimate KPIs and whether they address the additionality point, in other words the difference it makes rather than simply happenchance. Perhaps we will do that through another route, perhaps the Budget Committee. What perplexes me, however, is that you are able now to come out with all these questions but if you actually examine, for example, our corporate plan - and I do not know whether Murziline [Parchment] will be able to help us on...
