  • Olympics Legacy Ambassador Role

    • Reference: 2012/0229-1
    • Question by: Andrew Boff
    • Meeting date: 14 November 2012
    What will your new role as Olympics Legacy Ambassador entail? What will be your key message when advising the Prime Minister on how best to secure a long-term benefit of hosting the Games?
  • Affordable Ticket Guarantees (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 14 November 2012
    Thank you, madam. There is no doubt, we all agree what a phenomenal event it was, well, the two events, the Olympics and the Paralympics. It seems to me rather unfortunate that this is the one thing that seems to be besmirching the phenomenal record because it is being commented on in both the broadcast media and in the written media. There is one thing that I do not quite understand. There was a Twitter feed - I think it was called @2012TicketAlert - which could have directed people to your website when you did have unsold tickets. Is it...
  • Affordable Ticket Guarantees (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Andrew Boff
    • Meeting date: 14 November 2012
    Lord Deighton, what we had asked for in our meeting back in March/April - I cannot remember when it was - what we had asked for and what we received an assurance about was that we would get the data immediately after the Olympics; it would be released to us and that we would be able to make judgments about the allocations. What we received was an embargoed set of aggregated data, not the raw data that we wanted. We received an embargoed set of aggregated data one week before this meeting, embargoed until yesterday, and we get the breakdown...
  • Experience (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Victoria Borwick
    • Meeting date: 14 November 2012
    Changing back to a different topic in view of some of the questions we have just had - and I am very conscious that our session this morning is time-limited, as you know - I do want to highlight in this area of what is different or what is not different the tremendous sense of participation you gave to the volunteers and to the Games Makers. I know that as you close there will be many Games Makers who think that possibly their options of other things they are going to do are going to finish. However, I know even...
  • Concern (Supplementary) [30]

    • Question by: Andrew Boff
    • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
    I would be very interested, Mr Hendy, to see the results of that study. Just anecdotally, tipper-truck drivers do seem to drive incredibly fast and just from my observation, as somebody who did cycle in this morning, and cycles in to City Hall most days, it desperately needs attention, because there is something desperately wrong with the way in which those vehicles are used on the roads of London.
  • Performance of London Underground (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
    Boris, there is some work going on on the District line at the moment to improve the service, which we are all very pleased about. This I think is really a question for the Commissioner. The work that is going on at the depot in Upminster is proving to be more disruptive to neighbours than they were told it would be, with noise and working for longer hours than they were told would take place, and I think what can fairly be described as an unhelpful attitude from some of the staff in the depot when the neighbours go around...
  • Government Delivery of Mayoral Policies (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
    You have just said one significant thing that I have not heard before and that is that the Commissioner himself is supportive of this line of policy. Perhaps we could have it on the record from Peter Hendy just how supportive he has because in our approaches to Government, whether it be the Prime Minister or other Cabinet Ministers, what the Commissioner for TfL might say about it would be rather important, I believe.
  • Business Plan

    • Reference: 2012/0003-1
    • Question by: Victoria Borwick
    • Meeting date: 07 March 2012
    Are you satisfied that the predictions made in your business plan, particularly in relation to the popularity of the Games and the events leading up to Games-time, stack up?
  • 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?
  • Tickets (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Andrew Boff
    • Meeting date: 07 March 2012
    Mr Deighton, do hospitality providers have more than one source of tickets?
