  • Living Wage (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
    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?

  • Lessons Learned from the Beijing Olympic Games (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 08 October 2008

  • Environmental Commitments (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 15 February 2007
    One of the areas which you have not touched on in terms of environmental commitments is the waterways, I mean the backbone of the Olympic site has both the River Lea and canals. I just want to be clear what your commitments are there, how much progress you have made and what we can expect in the near future, in terms of check-off points.
