    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    I do not think I need his CV, Mr Fletcher, because you are simply using up the time. Can I get the question to come to the point otherwise it will not come off of my time. Thank you very much, Mr Fletcher. I am sure he did meet some people in relation to Olympic matters. He also told us about what he was seeing about bio-genetics and other diversity issues - that is his own quotes - to the press.

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007

    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    Do you? If ideological priorities do not guide the Mayor's international relations strategy, why has the Mayor overwhelmingly only met with city Mayors who are members of left wing communist parties in their countries?

  • Strategy for GLA International Relations (Supplementary) [30]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007

    Ms Parchment, the question is not about your relationships with the rest of the world, but about the Mayor's.

  • Strategy for GLA International Relations (Supplementary) [33]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    He has never met the Mayor of New York who has snubbed him. We have not gone into proper and full partnership agreements with Tokyo, even though we have signed a paper and you advised not to do it. Is it not true that it is not the interest of Londoners you wish to further, it is primarily the interests of the Mayor's political ideology you seek to further?
