  • Meagre benefits from a third runway (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
    • Meeting date: 08 September 2015
    Valerie Shawcross CBE AM: Thank you, Sir Howard. I am just looking at the table on NPV and social benefits on page 147 [of the Airports Commission’s final report]. Without being economists, we are trying to grapple with the issue of calculating the benefits and costs and the negative and positive aspects of the proposal. While you say Gatwick is a feasible proposal, you are saying the economic benefits would be considerably smaller than Heathrow. If you look at the bottom line of the calculations you have done - and I accept there are a lot of variables in here...

  • Utilising Capacity at Airports in the South East. (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
    • Meeting date: 08 September 2015
    Valerie Shawcross CBE AM: I just wanted to come in, if I may, Sir Howard, with a quick reaction to that comment. You have encapsulated a problem but you have it the wrong way around. You have said the problem is that TfL is trying to talk about growth that is not attributable to Heathrow. The problem is the other way around.

  • Question and Answer Session: Mayoral Development Corporation (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 16 March 2011
    In the minute or two left I do not have the time to debate the sweep of the abolition of the Greater London Council (GLC) because it was too interventionist, the strategic role this body was meant to have and now a much more interventionist, but I think many of us round here would be very concerned at planning powers being taken off boroughs as a way of doing business. First question then, very quickly, do you agree that, if we are to go down this MDC route, there should be a very tight set of objectives and time limited...
