    • Reference: 2011/0083-1
    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 20 July 2011
    What are your priorities in relation to the London 2012 City Operations Programme, and what do you think the key challenges and risks will be?
  • City Operations Programme (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 20 July 2011
    Do you know how many, if any, privately-sponsored Live sites there will be in London in addition to ones that you are planning to have?
  • City Operations Programme (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
    • Meeting date: 20 July 2011
    Can you just take me through the figures? Thank you for the briefing and the content in it, but I just wanted to clarify some issues around the funding that is available to you.
  • City Operations Programme (Supplementary) [11]

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 20 July 2011
    I have two issues in mind. The first is with street signage on public transport. As a tourist at Athens and at Beijing, I found that very useful in my experience of those cities. I am just wondering whether any thought has been put into that in the London context over and above what the ambassadors will be doing on the street level.
  • City Operations Programme (Supplementary) [12]

    • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
    • Meeting date: 20 July 2011
    I don't want to upset Tony Arbour but unless Richmond have moved their position from June you won't be waving any flags at all, even with the Union Jack, regardless of what LOCOG do or not. Can I just ask you a very quick question around London House 2012 and the use of this building? In our agenda, in paragraph 4.18 of the report, it says that really this is only going to result in rooms being less available to staff and Assembly Members from July 2012 to September 2012. Do you accept that is the only issue? We are...
  • Catering at Games' Venues (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Navin Shah
    • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
    Again, I am very happy to see you around. The question is on your policy and strategy about promoting fair trade products and that is right across the board, not only food and drink, but other products, sporting or otherwise?
  • Risks (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
    I would agree with you. I did anticipate that the previous question would take up time. Indeed our Members were choreographed to take up time on it, which would have meant I would have been here, Chair, so I will have to expel them later! I am very grateful for the reply and I think I did catch its basic contents. I think we all welcome your commitment to legacy although, of course, you will be long gone in this capacity by the time we really discover whether there was a legacy. Do you think there is a tension between...
  • Risks (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
    I have two questions. I think one is for Seb because I know that he has given this commitment to young people. Is there a risk that young people will be squeezed out? It is linked to the ticketing issue. I am just wanting assurance from you, yet again, that there is a plan and that we would never ever sit in our living rooms and see empty seats in any stadia, given that we have got millions of young people in London who could be there taking up those seats. That is, if you like, the back up, but...
  • Budget and Venues Update (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    My question is to Paul Deighton at LOCOG. We know the Chinese are going to be spending a fortune on the opening ceremony. How much are we actually spending on that?

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    I am glad to hear that emphasis. The other thing you touched on was TV rights and that clearly is the cash-cow that underlies most of LOCOG's finances and is hopefully subsidising some of the infrastructure works. It is quite probable that this TV deal over the London Olympics in 2012 will be quite a major expansion from what it is at the moment. If the Chinese get hooked on Olympic gold, I think you will have two competing TV markets. What arrangements will there be for us to take a bigger percentage of that rather than take a lump...
