  • Legacy Master plan for the Olympic Park (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Dee Doocey
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    And what is the answer to my question? Why did nobody provide coaches, buses or train tickets and depend on the parents driving 300-mile round trips every weekend?

  • Legacy Master plan for the Olympic Park (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Dee Doocey
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    My final question is to Seb. Seb, does it worry you, as I am sure it should, that we keep reading things in the press about divers having to go to Sheffield and cyclists having to drive round the M25 in rush hour during the week in order to be able to train? Nobody could have foreseen that there were going to be problems with Crystal Palace? Surely these are the people that you are trying to inspire; these are the people that you are reaching out to so successfully. Once you realised that these people had to go to...

  • Mitigating the Games-time Environmental Impact (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    Can I go back to the sustainability announcement that was alluded to earlier and is presumably what you were just referring to, Seb. What is that? Is that further commitments or is that the reality behind the commitments that have already been given? That is the first question. Then in terms of the scope of it, you have said it was kind of biodiversity and so forth, but is it sustainability in an economic, social and environmental sense or is it essentially still environmental-related commitments?

  • Approving and Planning Foreign Travel (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    Is not the truth here that there is no planning? This has mushroomed completely out of control. Until we started asking questions you and the Mayor did not know the volume of it. We are told that since we started asking questions he in particular has been amazed at the volume of travelling going on.

  • Approving and Planning Foreign Travel (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    That is not the point I am raising.

  • Approving and Planning Foreign Travel (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    What is behind it is I do not believe there is actually any monitoring and tracking.

  • Approving and Planning Foreign Travel (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    Can I return to planning and approval and ask Simon Fletcher what monitoring is done as part of the planning and approval process as to the volume of overseas travel?

  • Approving and Planning Foreign Travel (Supplementary) [18]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    I take it that Jenny is bosom buddies with the Mayor!

  • Strategy for GLA International Relations (Supplementary) [39]

    • Question by: Sally Hamwee
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    I am interested to get a sense of where relations with Europe - or perhaps I should say the rest of Europe at the risk of alienating some people round the Chamber - figure in this. John [Ross], you mentioned the Euro Zone but that is not the whole of Europe. One could talk of the Euro Zone, the EU and Europe. We have the Brussels office costing something over £400,000 a year. Is it that that is working very well and therefore low profile? I would have hoped that the Mayor would set a high priority on good relations...

  • Strategy for GLA International Relations (Supplementary) [44]

    • Question by: Sally Hamwee
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    That thought had actually occurred to me as well, that it is included in the figures, and I think most people would regard it as international.
