  • London Recovery Board and London Transition Board (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Tony Devenish
    • Meeting date: 02 July 2020
    Tony Devenish AM: I have two questions, the first one for Mr Bellamy. Good morning, David. Yesterday TfL put out a press release where it boasted that there is an extra 19,000m 2 of space in central London for cycling and walking that has been created over the last few weeks, ie I presume there is 19,000m 2 roughly less road space. I am glad you mentioned the point of Saturday and the good news that the pubs are opening on Saturday. Do you worry, as some people have said to me, that Saturday will be a tipping point, where...
  • London Recovery Board and London Transition Board (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Lord Bailey of Paddington
    • Meeting date: 02 July 2020
    Shaun Bailey AM: Can I address my question to John Barradell, please. Good morning, John. It is great to see you. Earlier on you talked about everybody being worried about a second outbreak, and of course that is correct, but what constitutes an outbreak? Is there a pre-planned level where something clicks in? Is it based around R rate? Is it based around fatalities? Does that level exist in the mind of the Committee?
  • Catering at Games' Venues (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
    Will your Food Strategy apply to all of the Olympic venues? I mean not just those within the Park but Weybridge, Broxbourne, Dorney Wood, Manchester United's football ground. Will it apply to all of them, even those commercial premises which you are hiring in for the period of the Games?
  • Risks (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
    One of the parts of this question is about reputational risk and, Seb, in your speech when you secured the Games - I think one of the high points - was you talking about the legacy for young people in sport. One former Olympian said to me a few days ago that he was rather worried he did not see enough progress going on in this regard in setting things up for young people to secure the legacy. He said there was far too much talking and far too many scoping studies going on but not any real activity. What...
  • Risks (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Andrew Boff
    • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
    I was very pleased to hear you mention that one of LOCOG's legacies will be in 2020 to look back and see what the legacy was. How are you measuring the legacy in terms of the increase in participatory sport?
  • Risks (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
    Thank you. One of your reputational risks hangs on the slogan that was used throughout the bidding process, after we got it and until today, which is 'The most accessible Games ever'. It is delivering the most accessible Games ever which you will be judged by, in many ways. Now it is relatively easy to deliver accessible Games within six stadia, however there are a number of - what I believe is called - free to view events; pentathlons, long distance walking, marathons, for those who are not aware. How are you going to ensure that the mobility impaired and...
  • Cultural Olympiad (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: James Cleverly
    • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
    Following on from the Cultural Olympiad, I feel that one of the most important principles that we can get across from the Olympic brand and Olympic spirit is that the pursuit of excellence need not necessarily be at the exclusion of mass participation. I think that is a very strong point to put across. I think if there is a way of tying in the Cultural Olympiad and the Sporting Olympiad so there is no gap. I am slightly worried, looking at some of the things we see with regards to the Cultural Olympiad that they are very cultural but...

    At the moment you are clearly on target. What extra sponsorship do you anticipate signing up in the next, say, 12 months?
  • Budget and Venues Update (Supplementary) [18]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    Can I move onto Lord Coe. In terms of the position over achieving sponsorship, can you update us as to the overall level of sponsorship that is required in order to achieve the aims and where you are in terms of achieving that?

    What are the financial implications if you do not achieve those targets by Beijing?
