• Question by: Florence Eshalomi MP
• Meeting date: 07 December 2016

Florence Eshalomi AM: Good morning, Deputy Mayor. You may be aware that one of the things the Government was supposed to announce in the Autumn Statement was the whole announcement around the buy-as-you-go thought to help more people get on to the housing ladder. Do you think that would help in addressing the London housing crisis?

Florence Eshalomi AM: Thank you, Madam Chair. Good morning to you, Commissioner, and Mr Mayor. I just wanted to go back to some of the points raised by Assembly Member Bailey in terms of the night Tube. The first two lines are coming in in less than six weeks from today, and I am very happy that one of them will be going through my constituency, the Victoria line. I just wanted to go back to some of the points that you raised, Commissioner, in terms of the impact of the 24-hour licence, and this is an issue that has...

• Meeting date: 14 November 2012

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. We welcome Lord Coe, Chair of LOCOG, and Lord Deighton. This is I think the first time we have met Lord Deighton since his elevation to the upper house, so we congratulate him on that honour. Lord Deighton, as we know, is the Chief Executive of LOCOG. We are going to hear from, I think, Lord Coe first who is going to just update us in response to some questions that I sent...

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?

Right, but once you take the football out, which is a rather special sort of event, the profile is a bit less generous to the lowest type of tickets.

This is not in any way to diminish what I think is your spectacular achievement, but it is just one story. My family got tickets for the Paralympics. We were unable to get any tickets for sessions at the Games that we wanted to go to. At the very last minute, at a pretty hefty price, we were able to go to the O2 to see the first Saturday - absolutely amazing men's gymnastics - but it was half empty. Why was that? This was the morning. It might have filled up in the afternoon, but in the morning.

Thank you. I wanted to ask you particularly about the sporting legacy and particularly school children. As you said, that is the one thing that you perhaps would have done differently with

OK. Thank you, Chair. The question is to Lord Coe. You recall we had some disagreements about Dow's sponsorship. I want to talk about that. You mentioned throughout our discussions that despite the available evidence, Dow had no case to answer according to you because you claimed that full and final settlement had been made. Is this an issue you would have done differently? Your position, in my view, certainly was wholly unsustainable.

Are you satisfied that only 36% of tickets to the men's 100m final will be going to the public?
