  • Olympic Legacy (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Brian Coleman
    • Meeting date: 08 September 2005
    Mr Mayor, I am looking at the cultural legacy from the Olympics. Funding for arts and culture in London is already hard pressed, as you know, especially that that is dished out through the Association of London Government (ALG) and the London boroughs. How are we going to fund the cultural legacy? Is that going to be to the disadvantage of arts organisations which are currently funded from the public sector?

    • Reference: 2001/0061-1
    • Question by: Brian Coleman
    • Meeting date: 11 July 2001
    In your work with Mark Fisher you stated: "...councillors are ill-qualified to judge complex planning issues and rarely have the professional back-up they need." (p xxxiii) Do you believe this judgement should apply to the Mayor and Assembly members and, if so, what can be done to remedy our lack of qualification? (A New London, 1992) .

    • Question by: Brian Coleman

    Lord Rogers, you are on a 12-month contract for a fee of, I believe, £130,000. Do you think that is value for money for Londoners?
  • Richard Roger's Appointment (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Brian Coleman

    I think the problem is the GLA does not think it is worth it but the Mayor thinks it is. It does seem extraordinary. Do you believe in civic duty, Lord Rogers?
