  • Climate Change Action Plan and London's Buildings

    • Reference: 2008/0001
    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    How does the Mayor intend to meet his environmental and housing objectives?

  • Climate Change Action Plan and London's Buildings (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    Do you not find that they are absolutely grotesque to look at? I am a great one for doing what can be done but I also believe that the best way to encourage people to do the right thing is to make it possible for them to do the right thing. Is it not going to be absolutely vital that we get these light bulbs designed in a way that is acceptable to people because the light is appalling and they look absolutely grotesque?

    Thank you very much. You have told us lots about your good intentions and your principles and so on - and indeed about 90% of what you have said was about your intentions - but not what you have actually achieved. That really is rather like the expenditure that there has been on these programmes. Is it good value for money that, of the £2.7 million that has been spent on the Green Homes programme, £2.2 million of that has been spent on publicity and only £300,000 on actual insulation grant? Would you not say that the whole thing is...

    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    It is very important that people have a practical solution to these light bulbs. I am genuinely asking whether we are going to get some improvements in the light bulb that might persuade people that they are not such a disastrous thing to move over to. That is what I am trying to get at.

    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    I was just wondering about these light bulbs. Nicky, have you completely gone over to these hideous new light bulbs? Has your house completely gone over to them now?

    The truth of the matter is, and this really is to the Deputy Mayor, that this was a publicity campaign. There was never any belief that there would be a substantial take'up, as indeed there was not a substantial take-up. It is a fact that every single one of the campaigns that you have had which do not involve compulsion relating to saving energy has been a complete failure. I wonder if I can put to you the amount of money that you have spent on Recycle for London; the Mayor has spent almost £1 million on this over the...

  • GLA Bill Amendments (Supplementary) [12]

    • Question by: Brian Coleman
    • Meeting date: 13 December 2006
    Madam Deputy Mayor, on a point of order. Unfortunately I do not think we did agree it unanimously, I think the One London Group were opposed to that if my memory serves me right.

  • Carbon Reduction Targets (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 17 April 2006
    No, the question to the Mayor is: Why did the Deputy Mayor disagree with the answer which you just gave?

  • South London Venues (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 13 October 2004
    The comments about Crystal Palace are welcome, but perhaps the Mayor would deal with this: do you not understand that residents of Bromley and Bexley feel aggrieved? Although safeguarding of Crystal Palace is good, they are likely to receive very little direct benefit in legacy terms, but are expected to contribute through their council tax for a number of years, whereas residents of areas outside London, which may have Olympic sites as firm parts of the bid, are not expected to contribute. What means could be achieved to seek greater equity for the residents of Bexley and Bromley on that...

  • Lessons learnt (Supplementary) [12]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 13 October 2004
    I just wanted to move on to some of the lessons learnt with the Paralympics and the Olympic Games themselves, because it became a bit, in Athens, of shall we say "after the Lord Mayor's show." That was very unfortunate, I think, given the high levels of competitors and the great interest there is in the UK in the Paralympics. Therefore, has any thought been given either to moving the Paralympics to be held before the main Olympic Games, or to go back to where we were and to integrate the two sets of Games, so that they are part...
