  • Temporary Venues (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Jenny Jones
    • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
    Paul, you mentioned the Food Strategy. I would quite like to know when that is coming out?
  • Budget and Venues Update (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    My question is to Paul Deighton at LOCOG. We know the Chinese are going to be spending a fortune on the opening ceremony. How much are we actually spending on that?

    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    At the moment you are clearly on target. What extra sponsorship do you anticipate signing up in the next, say, 12 months?

    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    Can I move onto Lord Coe. In terms of the position over achieving sponsorship, can you update us as to the overall level of sponsorship that is required in order to achieve the aims and where you are in terms of achieving that?

    What are the financial implications if you do not achieve those targets by Beijing?

    • Question by: Dee Doocey
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    I am not arguing with the principle. I am just trying to understand how many of the 70,000 volunteer places will actually be available if the sponsors take up their allocation and do not decide to give them to the community. How many are going to be available for the community? Is it 60,000, is it 50,000 or is it 65,000?

    I will come on now to sponsorship. There have been reports in the press that sponsors are going to get an allocation of tickets, which is perfectly understandable. I suppose you share my view and hope that it will not be like Wembley, where so many of the tickets are sold to people who have no interest in football and have their back turned to the game.

    I am glad to hear that emphasis. The other thing you touched on was TV rights and that clearly is the cash-cow that underlies most of LOCOG's finances and is hopefully subsidising some of the infrastructure works. It is quite probable that this TV deal over the London Olympics in 2012 will be quite a major expansion from what it is at the moment. If the Chinese get hooked on Olympic gold, I think you will have two competing TV markets. What arrangements will there be for us to take a bigger percentage of that rather than take a lump...
  • Mitigating the Games-time Environmental Impact (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    OK. Perhaps this next question is to LOCOG. Have you clarified what your expectations are in terms of what the broad percentage targets will be for the management of the waste on the site? How much is going to be incinerated? How much is going to be recycled? Have you got any ideas at all and will that be in the planning?
