    • Question by: Damian Hockney
    • Meeting date: 13 October 2004
    Damian Hockney (AM): Elements of this argument, to me, I am sorry to say, appear to be completely weird. Mayor, you mentioned the point that Olympics have broken even or made a profit since Montreal, but the reality is the Greek finance minister only two weeks ago blamed the Greek deficit, in part, upon the losses made at the Olympic Games. Then Mike (Lee), you made a point just 60 seconds later that the IOC does not want a re-run of Athens. The point about this is it is to do with money. It is to do with the fact...

  • Benefit to residents living beyond East London (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Elizabeth Howlett
    • Meeting date: 13 October 2004
    Thank you very much. I am going to ask this question about hidden cost and also a capacity issue for the whole of London, not just east London. I wonder whether, in fact, you have been in discussion with London NHS as to capacity, and how it could bear an influx of a huge number of people. There will be people who will be ill; there will be people who will have accidents. Now, London's hospitals carry a very, very high bed occupancy, with hardly any spare room. Are you discussing this problem with London NHS?

  • Benefit to residents living beyond East London (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 13 October 2004
    We will part on that issue, because I think most people in London, especially in the suburbs, do not regard themselves as being necessarily Londoners. They would regard themselves as living in particular parts, a network of villages. To move on to another issue, which I think is significant in this whole thing, there are a substantial number of businesses in the area that is supposedly to be regenerated that are going to be displaced and that are basically going to go out of business, with a great loss of business at the time and, potentially, loss of jobs in...

  • Benefit to residents living beyond East London (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 13 October 2004
    Yes, thank you. I think it is interesting that there is deep suspicion outside the parts of east London, and we have already heard that there is deep suspicion in parts of east London, as well. Actually, all this is an attempt by you as Mayor to regenerate the east part of London, and it is a very complex way of doing it. Therefore, the issue is all the new build and all the redevelopment is going to take place in east London, and the question then should be why should not those people that are going to benefit from...

  • Council tax and the Olympics (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Damian Hockney
    • Meeting date: 13 October 2004
    Could you ask them to put one in about that?

  • Council tax and the Olympics (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 13 October 2004
    All the discussion of the finances so far has focused on the cost side. Can I try to focus on the benefits side and ask what will be published as part of the case-making and the building of public support in terms of projections around the economic benefits - jobs, tax revenues, extra visitors, hotels, etc.? There ought to be a very positive economic case for this, and I fear it is not getting out.
