  • Risks (Supplementary) [11]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 08 December 2010
    Paul, you talked about ticketing as one of your financial risks. Can I unpick your objective there on affordability? As I understand it, you are saying that 2.5 million tickets will be at £20 or less. 1.3 million of those are for the 'pay your age' for kids and 1 million are for football, so, by my maths, that leaves just 200,000 available for the whole of the UK for people to bid for for all the Olympic sports other than football. Is that correct?

  • 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.

    That is not the point I am raising.

    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?

    I take it that Jenny is bosom buddies with the Mayor!

  • Achievements from the GLA's Work on the Economic Promotion of London (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    Indeed we do not want a gap year Mayor, and I did say that, but I also said, and so it is a little deplorable if you misquote me and partially quote me, what I also said 'was that Ken Livingstone has a duty to stick up for London and to support London's economy. We support specific foreign trips that encourage investment in the capital. However, after the Mayor's failed junkets to Cuba and Venezuela I will be keeping a close eye on the costs and purpose of the trip so that Londoners get value for money. That is what...

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    Then why did the Mayor have to write to John Hutton to clarify the point? Either you knew before you launched the scheme that there was not a problem, or you did not. You did not, because you had to check.

    I am glad I have this power to force the Mayor to write to people! Could we just return to the question.

    It is terrific you are now coming out with all these KPIs. We have not got time this morning to go into whether they are legitimate KPIs and whether they address the additionality point, in other words the difference it makes rather than simply happenchance. Perhaps we will do that through another route, perhaps the Budget Committee. What perplexes me, however, is that you are able now to come out with all these questions but if you actually examine, for example, our corporate plan - and I do not know whether Murziline [Parchment] will be able to help us on...
