Mr Mayor, can I raise the issue of sectarian tensions in London from the Middle East conflicts between Sunni and Shia? I welcome the comments you made to Andrew Boff AM that you do not want to see international disputes come to the streets of London. In the past 15 months I have seen a number of incidents which concern me. The first was raised by Lebanese businesses on the Edgware Road about Anjem Choudary’s [cleric] mob inciting clearly religious hatred aimed at Shias. It was dealt with as a public order offence but an opportunity was missed to deal...

Jennette Arnold (Chair): The first part of today's meeting is a question and answer (Q&A) session with the London Organising Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

In the light of your experiences at LOCOG, what was the one thing you would have done differently?

Thank you, Chair. I should say I was singularly unsuccessful in getting any tickets from the LOCOG website for the simple reason that I used a Visa card and had to go somewhere else, but that is not the gripe I am raising. I think there is a concern about how many tickets the corporate sponsors got on the blue ribbon events. Could you inform us how many they did get during the blue ribbon events, given that the financial contribution from them was actually smaller than that made by council taxpayers and general taxpayers?
