    • Question by: Damian Hockney
    • Meeting date: 20 February 2008
    The Mayor is on record as saying that London council taxpayers are close to breaking point. Does he agree with One London that after eight years of inflation-busting rises, it is now time to reduce the burden of GLA council tax on Londoners over the next four years?

  • Approving and Planning Foreign Travel (Supplementary) [10]

    So you have worked this out then. Why can't we have the figures? I just feel we need to know how much these services will cost and what they are. We are getting US$16 million.250,000 people, on the basis of the Mayor's statement this morning, will get travel concessions worth £280. Of course not all are going to take them up, but even if 80% take them up, that will take up the whole of that US$32 million.

    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    How much? Very small? What does very small mean? Are you saying less than £1 million, between £1 million and £5 million, up to the value of the money we are getting? How much?

    Finally, Chair, if you would indulge me, could you just provide us at some point with a list of the companies and jobs which have actually come as a result of our offices in China?

  • Costs and Benefits (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Damian Hockney
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    When you say cost effective, how many jobs have actually been created and how many are you expecting to be created? Can you actually specify them? How many companies have actually done business as a direct result, or are doing business? It is very easy to talk about media value, but media value is often just coverage. What is that? I have asked a few times for an outline of what that is. Is it just a picture on TV of the Mayor arriving in Beijing and that is the equivalent of £10,000 worth of media coverage? Is it media...
