  • London Recovery Board and London Transition Board (Supplementary) [10]

    • Question by: Onkar Sahota
    • Meeting date: 02 July 2020
    Dr Onkar Sahota AM: My question is to Mr John Barradell, please. Testing is paramount in preventing the spread of the virus and also then tracing. How far advanced are we in London on testing? Will the testing be taking place for everyone in London for antigens and antibodies?
  • London Recovery Board and London Transition Board (Supplementary) [11]

    • Question by: Leonie Cooper
    • Meeting date: 02 July 2020
    Léonie Cooper AM: My first question is to David Bellamy and it is about the balance between lives and livelihoods. Many politicians and commentators have portrayed the journey out of lockdown as a trade-off between the economy and health and between lives and livelihoods. Do you agree that this is a false distinction and that there cannot really be a full economic recovery without the public being confident that going about daily life is safe?

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 02 July 2020
    Jennette Arnold OBE AM: Good morning, all. Thank you, Chair. Can I add my thanks and gratitude to Mr Barradell, Deputy Mayor Twycross and all members of the team for the work they are doing. I share my colleague Assembly Member Duvall’s confidence in you, John. If we needed somebody in your seat, it is good that we have you. Seriously, what can we say. We can all agree that COVID has shattered any illusions that we live in a fair city. The focus of my questions today are about protecting vulnerable Londoners, especially the impact of COVID-19 upon young...

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • 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...

  • Affordable Ticket Guarantees (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 14 November 2012
    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?
  • Affordable Ticket Guarantees (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 14 November 2012
    Thank you, madam. There is no doubt, we all agree what a phenomenal event it was, well, the two events, the Olympics and the Paralympics. It seems to me rather unfortunate that this is the one thing that seems to be besmirching the phenomenal record because it is being commented on in both the broadcast media and in the written media. There is one thing that I do not quite understand. There was a Twitter feed - I think it was called @2012TicketAlert - which could have directed people to your website when you did have unsold tickets. Is it...
