    • 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.

  • 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?
