  • Undertakings made to the British Olympic Committee (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 13 October 2004
    Thank you, Mr Mayor. I recognise where you are coming from, but this Government does not actually have a very good track record on delivering things. Can I make it clear that I do support the Olympic Games for London, but I need to be able to argue it for my people in west London. My real question is on the security aspects of it and what assessment has been made of the security risk for London for 2012. Also, how are those security aspects going to be paid for, so that there is an upfront and clear funding for...

  • 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) [3]

    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 13 October 2004
    These Games uniquely seem to be public sector Games. How do you account for the fact that the only financially successful Games were run by the private sector? Also, given that the principal venues from the Games are on the edge of the city, why is the city not stumping up to pay for these Games?

  • Council tax and the Olympics (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 13 October 2004
    What proportion is that of the estimated total cost?
