  • 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) [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...
  • Tickets (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Andrew Boff
    • Meeting date: 07 March 2012
    Mr Deighton, do hospitality providers have more than one source of tickets?
  • Transparency (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Andrew Boff
    • Meeting date: 07 March 2012
    Lord Coe, you know those annual letters you get about your pension and they send it off to you and they say, 'This is your predicted benefits from your pension'? One thing I do know is yours is probably a little more optimistic than my letter, but when was the last time that letter actually said to you, 'We are not going to tell you now about these benefits because it is ever-changing and too complicated for you to understand, but what we will do is we will let you know when you retire'?! When did you last get that...
  • Business Plan (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Andrew Boff
    • Meeting date: 07 March 2012
    This is a useful suggestion. As the Prime Minister and the Mayor of London have indicated, we have capacity problems with the mall and St James' Park. How about we route the marathon around the East End? That would help, would it not, enormously?
  • Food (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Peter Hulme Cross
    • Meeting date: 10 October 2006
    Can I put in a plea that whatever food is provided will be reasonably priced? I know that this is somewhat subjective and what some people might consider reasonable, others may not. However, clearly where people have a monopoly, there is a huge temptation to charge whatever they like. Another thing: can I put in a plea for water to be provided free of charge because at the Athens Games, if you went in, they actually confiscated your water bottle if you had one with you. I was horrified. I think that is really important that at least plain water...
  • LOCOG Budget (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Peter Hulme Cross
    • Meeting date: 10 October 2006
    If you are suddenly confronted with the need for extra security, and so your security bill goes up beyond expectations or perhaps your ticket sales do not live up to expectations and you have a shortfall, so you are left at the end of the day with a budget over-run, who covers it and can you give an absolute assurance that it will not be London council tax payers?
  • Broadcasting and Sponsorship Revenue (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Peter Hulme Cross
    • Meeting date: 10 October 2006
    In the negotiations, the IOC would seem to be in the dominant position. They seem to hold the cards, to me.
  • Markaz Complex (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Peter Hulme Cross
    • Meeting date: 10 October 2006
    Yes, it is purely speculative but clearly there is a concern there and it would be quite contrary to the spirit of the Games to have a separation for certain groups within the complex, would it not?
  • Broadcasting and Sponsorship Revenue

    • Reference: 2006/0243-1
    • Question by: Peter Hulme Cross
    • Meeting date: 10 October 2006
    The majority of LOCOG's revenue will come from its share of broadcasting and sponsorship revenue, which is determined by the International Olympic Committee. What agreement has been reached with the IOC about LOCOG's share of this revenue?
