  • Strategy for GLA International Relations (Supplementary) [42]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    Richard Barnes (AM): That is a bit strange then because Murziline Parchment and her researcher, Christopher Fleming, went to New York to the New York City Cities Conference on 17 January, and the International Relations Unit prepared a briefing note for her which says -,`Tokyo has been a partner city for some time, but the cities are yet to work together on any projects' and that was January 2006 the agreement was reached. `The Governor of Tokyo' - and I quote directly from the briefing note - `Shiin Taro Ishihara is very right wing.

    So he was not in New York, and he has not met Mayor Bloomberg?

  • Environmental Impact (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    I just wondered, do you need to do all this travelling for Green issues? We were told that, for example, that Woking was a leading place to go to if you wanted to look at decentralised power generation and, indeed, we employ someone from there to advise us.

    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
