David Kurten AM: Good morning, everybody. My first question would go to David Bellamy. I think you would be the person to answer this, but if you are not you can pass it on.

• Meeting date: 02 July 2020

Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: My questions are to start off with to John O’Brien. I want to ask about support for businesses in London, with a particular focus on the restaurant industry. According to data from the Office for National Statistics, as of July last year there were nearly 16,000 restaurants in London employing around 325,000 people.

Léonie Cooper AM: My first question is to David Bellamy and it is about the balance between lives and livelihoods.

Murad Qureshi (AM): I just want to continue on Richard Tracey's theme, actually, and I think it is a major reputational risk for the ODA, quite honestly, these whole bonuses that you have been giving yourselves. I just want to be clear; how can the ODA possibly justify raking in £2.6 million in salaries and bonuses when there is a funding shortfall for the Olympic sports' venues themselves, and the land assembly in particular?

Good morning Members. We welcome John Armitt and David Higgs who are here with us this morning and we are looking forward to a good exchange of information. Thank you both for coming. Before I go on, can I just say that I was asked by the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) to circulate a booklet which you will have found on your seats and John [Armitt] or David [Higgins] will make reference to this booklet in answer to Mr Boff's question [see Appendix 2]. The Deputy Chair and I had a pre-meeting with both John and David and we agreed...
