  • Tickets (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 07 March 2012
    Clearly everybody is obsessed by tickets at the moment, for getting them or not getting them. I understand that a significant number of websites have been taken down that are offering bogus - whatever one likes to call it - tickets. Is there any particular warning that you would like to reiterate to the public of the UK about buying bogus tickets and how to avoid that problem, especially for the 100 metres final?

  • Business Plan (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 07 March 2012
    Before the bid, during the bid and after the bid successive Mayors declared that this would be the most accessible, inclusive Games ever. Clearly you would have incorporated that statement within your business plan. Can you tell me how far you have gone to fulfilling that?

  • London 2012 Food Vision (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 07 March 2012
    Lord Coe, lest the British public think that the only option they have is a Veggie Burger or a Big Mac, can you please assure both this Assembly and London, the wider public, that your food policy has achieved an enormous range of food outlets across the Park, that McDonald's have only two outlets, I understand, at the Park, and there are another 150 others? McDonald's, whilst having the monopoly of chips, as I understand, do not have the monopoly of food provision.

  • Catering at Games' Venues (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
    Will your Food Strategy apply to all of the Olympic venues? I mean not just those within the Park but Weybridge, Broxbourne, Dorney Wood, Manchester United's football ground. Will it apply to all of them, even those commercial premises which you are hiring in for the period of the Games?

  • Risks (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
    Thank you. One of your reputational risks hangs on the slogan that was used throughout the bidding process, after we got it and until today, which is 'The most accessible Games ever'. It is delivering the most accessible Games ever which you will be judged by, in many ways. Now it is relatively easy to deliver accessible Games within six stadia, however there are a number of - what I believe is called - free to view events; pentathlons, long distance walking, marathons, for those who are not aware. How are you going to ensure that the mobility impaired and...

  • Security During Games Time

    • Reference: 2008/0014-1
    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 19 November 2008
    Would you give us a brief update on your discussion with authorities concerned with security during Games time?

  • Security During Games Time (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 19 November 2008
    How confident are you in the competence of the Home Office to carry through all the security procedures that are going to be required with the many tens of thousands of volunteers that you are going to be using? I am referring particularly to Criminal Record Bureau (CRB) checks. Currently when police officers are being recruited, teachers are being recruited, social workers in Haringey are being recruited, it takes many months to go through all of this process and that is just normal everyday work. So, do you actually think the Home Office are up to it?
