  • Tourism in Outer London (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 04 November 2015
    Richard Tracey AM: I must say that all the foreign visitors I talk to, whether I know them well or not, complain about the large numbers in central London now. It is a buzzy city but it is also, they feel, very crowded, extremely busy and quite tiring. This is a well‑targeted question that Tony Arbour [AM] has put to you about outer London. Can I ask you what you are doing particularly? How much are you spending to encourage people to take a river cruise? Indeed, they will reach Tony Arbour’s constituency. Tony Arbour AM (Deputy Chairman): They will...

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 04 November 2015

  • Work of the LDA (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 13 January 2010

You are not pleasing the boroughs and you are not pleasing us, certainly when we receive criticism from the boroughs, and you are not actually helping the businesses it would seem. I cannot understand why there should be the...
  • LDA Debt (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 18 March 2009
    Mr McGrath, you sound to me really rather uncomfortable in this position over the Olympics. Is that a fair description? Are you feeling uncomfortable and really rather insecure about it all?
