    • Question by: Richard Barnbrook
    • Meeting date: 08 December 2010
    John picked up on this particular question. With the budget being - I would not say squeezed - and not there for aspects that we feel would be necessary for a secure Olympic Games and with the heightened threat of terrorism taking place, what sort of discussions - I do not want to go into the inside details of Special Branch and all the rest; that would be nonsense - have taken place and what sort of security can you offer to the public both in this country, and people visiting this country, that they will be secure in all...

    • Question by: Nicky Gavron
    • Meeting date: 08 December 2010
    The question is about climate change as a risk; two different aspects of it. One the risk to London's carbon footprint because, however much you are making savings, you are still increasing the carbon. I would like some figures. The second one is the risk of extreme weather events.

    Would you have any objections to an independent review of the remediation of the Olympic land?

    • 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?

    If I understand this correctly the significant private sponsors seem to have fallen to one side, especially on two particular major projects. One is the media centre and the -- Richard Barnbrook (AM): The question is - I put the information forward first so I can get the question out of it - with these possible cutbacks what future does the media centre have without private funding?

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 08 December 2010
    Can I take a different tack with the ticket issue which is very important to sporting fans before transport and getting there. It is the reputational damage risk. The one thing that harmed the Sydney Games was 10,000 Australians, allegedly, applied for free public tickets for one of the triathlon sessions. I want assurances from LOCOG we are not going to have the same incident here and there will be the fair availability of reasonably priced tickets, which we all want?

    • 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?

    • 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...

    Paul, you talked about ticketing as one of your financial risks. Can I unpick your objective there on affordability? As I understand it, you are saying that 2.5 million tickets will be at £20 or less. 1.3 million of those are for the 'pay your age' for kids and 1 million are for football, so, by my maths, that leaves just 200,000 available for the whole of the UK for people to bid for for all the Olympic sports other than football. Is that correct?
