  • Jack Lemley (Supplementary) [20]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 15 November 2006
    I understand that. My concern here is that the credibility of the organisation is being challenged; first by the departure of Jack Lemley, then by Lord Rogers, and allegedly by the Mayor as well. That tends to suggest that there are serious problems undermining the whole organisation

  • Jack Lemley (Supplementary) [21]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 15 November 2006
    My final question is about money. Is there anything we need to know about the financial settlement associated with the departure of Mr Lemley? He was on a contract of something like £250,000 a year, maybe it was more than that.

  • Jack Lemley (Supplementary) [23]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 15 November 2006
    If you were to receive a number of written questions from the Assembly asking you to confirm or otherwise some of the more detailed points which seem to be squirming out in the press, would you be happy to receive those? Perhaps happy is not the right word.

  • Budget (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 15 November 2006
    But you cannot give a guarantee?

  • Budget (Supplementary) [11]

    • Question by: Sally Hamwee
    • Meeting date: 15 November 2006
    A discrete point, as it were. You have mentioned the need for an adequate contingency budget. I do not think any one would argue with that. Are you able to tell us, in terms of the percentage of the whole, what you would regard as an adequate percentage?

  • Budget (Supplementary) [12]

    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 15 November 2006
    Okay, so the environment is a major feature, but we may have to see some scaling down on the bid commitments because of cost overruns?

  • Budget (Supplementary) [13]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 15 November 2006
    Could I ask you one other impossible question to answer then which is when you have finally negotiated with the Treasury your revised budgets for the Olympics, and we agree a sum, will that be a fixed sum which we can be confident to go forward with until 2012?

  • Budget (Supplementary) [14]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 15 November 2006
    So at that time you will be a lot more relaxed about getting into detailed scrutiny with us about individual items within your budget?

  • Budget (Supplementary) [16]

    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 15 November 2006
    On the budget issue, we saw environmental and legacy commitments being scaled back in Athens as a result of going over budget. Can you give an absolute guarantee that there will be no scaling back in London from what was promised in the bid documents?

  • Budget (Supplementary) [18]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 15 November 2006
    You said you cannot give us detailed costings at all, but can I ask, are the increased costs in relation to the Olympic venues themselves, or added extras to deal with regeneration of the area?
