  • Richard Roger's Appointment (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Brian Coleman
    • Meeting date: 11 July 2001
    Lord Rogers, you are on a 12-month contract for a fee of, I believe, £130,000. Do you think that is value for money for Londoners?

    • Question by: Brian Coleman
    • Meeting date: 11 July 2001
    I think the problem is the GLA does not think it is worth it but the Mayor thinks it is. It does seem extraordinary. Do you believe in civic duty, Lord Rogers?

    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 11 July 2001
    Obviously you seem hopeful that your contract will be extended beyond the initial year and into the future to work with us. If that is the case will you be happy to work in the new GLA headquarters with the rest of us and what do you think the advantages are that we can look forward to from working in a building that is as transparent and functional as the table we are sitting at this morning?

    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 11 July 2001
    Lord Rogers, you have made it quite clear that any scheme will work provided it is of the right design. I want to ask you about who should be the arbiters of design? For example here at the GLA the Mayor has already told his planning committee, even though it was unanimously against him for example on the Bishopsgate Tower, he took the view that his single view was more important than ours. We already know that he thinks his views are more important than those of English Heritage; the chances are he thinks his views are more important than...

  • Richard Roger's Appointment (Supplementary) [9]

    • Meeting date: 11 July 2001
    Well if it should not be you as an individual who is in a position to say that, is it right that one man should be able to impose his views on the rest of us?

  • Richard Roger's Appointment (Supplementary) [10]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 11 July 2001
    I wonder whether you can understand the concerns that I have expressed in the past about the role you play in advising the Mayor and also the fact that the Mayor will at some stage look at every UDP that has to go before his office. I am thinking in particular of Westminster's which came back from the Mayor's office with remarks written all over the place about the fact that he could not find their UDP acceptable unless they were going to go forward with very tall buildings in the Paddington area, and of course your name crops up...
