  • Affordable Ticket Guarantees (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Nicky Gavron
    • Meeting date: 14 November 2012
    This is not in any way to diminish what I think is your spectacular achievement, but it is just one story. My family got tickets for the Paralympics. We were unable to get any tickets for sessions at the Games that we wanted to go to. At the very last minute, at a pretty hefty price, we were able to go to the O2 to see the first Saturday - absolutely amazing men's gymnastics - but it was half empty. Why was that? This was the morning. It might have filled up in the afternoon, but in the morning.
  • Security During Games Time (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
    • Meeting date: 19 November 2008
    You have made it very clear that when the Games are on you are responsible for the security within venue, you said, so within, for example, the Park. Given that there have been huge numbers of break-ins over the years into train and Tube depots, how are you going to ensure that public transport does not pose a security threat, particularly when you have got lines bisecting the Park, going around the Park and, I think, possibly even under the Park?
  • Staffing Appointments (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Nicky Gavron
    • Meeting date: 10 October 2006
    Are you going to appoint a member of staff or even, indeed, more, to co-ordinate the engagement with young people because they need very special facilitation? I can understand you might not have something yet but I think it is very necessary.
