  • Legacy for London

    • Reference: 2010/0203-1
    • Question by: Andrew Boff
    • Meeting date: 08 December 2010
    What are the ODA and LOCOG doing to ensure that the Olympics provide a lasting legacy for London beyond the host boroughs?

  • Transport (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 08 December 2010
    Can I press you a bit harder on the document Keep on Running and your advice in it to businesses to reduce non essential journeys and avoid travel where possible. Is there, lurking behind this warning, a real worry in your minds that, despite all the Tube upgrades and all the other measures that have been put in place and the forward planning, the transport infrastructure really is creaking and possibly will not be able to cope?

  • Legacy for London (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 08 December 2010
    We have been talking about various obvious areas of legacy but there is one piece of legacy that is to the very front of the Mayor's mind and that is the upgrading of the use of the river and river transport. I must declare an interest of helping him particularly in this. Can I ask you why it is that, in the transport planning, the provision of free travel to Olympic ticket holders on the Underground, the overground and the buses, there does not appear to be any such free travel to encourage people to use the river? As I...

  • Risks (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Victoria Borwick
    • Meeting date: 08 December 2010
    I would like to go back to the risks question on security please. Could you talk a little bit more please about both the cost and the personnel issues? We talked about the training venues. I want to know a bit more about who will be responsible for the security of those, because you mentioned they were during the Games? How are you doing that? Also, the cost for us of that? That is not only at the venues but the transportation.

  • Risks (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Andrew Boff
    • Meeting date: 08 December 2010
    Would you have any objections to an independent review of the remediation of the Olympic land?

  • Risks (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 08 December 2010
    Several years ago, during the bid process, Lord Coe and the then Mayor made a number of very high level promises; the most accessible Games, the most diverse Games, the most young people involved in the Games process and the most sustainable. Which of these are at risk?

  • Risks (Supplementary) [9]

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 08 December 2010
    In talking about risks we have to ask you this one. From time to time there has been mention, particularly with the Olympics, of cyber terrorism, the risk of that and the potential chaos that it could cause. The whole business of WikiLeaks in the last few days has raised the spectre of hackers. How far do you believe you are sufficiently prepared to deal with this?

  • Risks (Supplementary) [10]

    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 08 December 2010
    I would like to revert, please, to the question of tickets but, in this context, it is the free tickets. One of the ways in which the Olympics is being sold to London and to the nation is the availability of free tickets. The Mayor has boasted about it. There has been publicity given to free tickets to be allocated to servicemen. In your previous answer on ticketing you said that you cannot say anything about it until you know anything about the demand. One thing that you ought to be able to tell us now is what proportion at...

  • Climate Change Action Plan and London's Buildings (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    Do you know, I am flabbergasted by this, Deputy Mayor. You have just told us that these low-energy bulbs are in fact a transitional thing, because LED bulbs are going to come in which are going to be efficient, but at the same time your publicity has told us that these light bulbs are going to have a very long life. Clearly it is quite pointless that they should have a long life if something more permanent is going to come along. It is a bit like somebody trying to sell me a Betamax video recorder! The whole thing is...

  • Climate Change Action Plan and London's Buildings (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    One final thing on this; I believe the whole thing is completely ludicrous. This refers to DIY Planet Repairs. Whenever we switch on any of the computers in this building a big thing comes up with an exclamation mark saying `DIY Planet Repairs'; utterly meaningless. I can well understand why there is an exclamation mark there; this has cost the Council Tax payers of London more than £1.25 million! Can you point to any `DIY Planet Repair' which the Mayor and this campaign have actually achieved?
