    • Reference: 2007/1233
    • Question by: Damian Hockney
    • Meeting date: 23 May 2007
    In her statement to Parliament in March, Tessa Jowell said: "Without any further increase for London council tax payers beyond that already committed, or any increase in transport fares to fund the Olympics, the Mayor will over the lifetime of the Olympic programme be making a further £300 million available to help meet Olympic costs." Please can the Mayor explain where this £300 million will come from, which is in addition to the £625 million he has already committed London council taxpayers to pay?

    • Question by: Damian Hockney
    • Meeting date: 21 March 2007
    Thank you, Mayor. Given the fact that the full IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) report was not made available at the time, and given the fact that many of the scientists who were quoted in it themselves had to take legal action to be disassociated from it because of the fact that the final draft of the communiqué avoided all of the doubts, all the question marks and all the qualifications, my only point really of this question is that you put something on with Al Gore -- let me just quote what he said himself about his own...

  • "The Great Global Warming Swindle" (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Damian Hockney
    • Meeting date: 21 March 2007
    You cannot seriously say that an alternate view is the equivalent of David Irving. That is the whole business about implying holocaust denier, global warning denier, that is like trying to create -

  • "The Great Global Warming Swindle" (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Damian Hockney

  • "The Great Global Warming Swindle" (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Damian Hockney
    • Meeting date: 21 March 2007

  • "The Great Global Warming Swindle" (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Damian Hockney
    • Meeting date: 21 March 2007
    All the scientists on that programme were not barking mad.

  • "The Great Global Warming Swindle" (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Damian Hockney
    • Meeting date: 21 March 2007
    But I would not really trust Al Gore particularly either, and that is the reason why there is a debate which surely, Mayor, as I have asked for, if you agree to a showing of one side, which a lot of people say is not factual, can we show the other side?

  • Olympics Precept (Supplementary) [10]

    • Question by: Damian Hockney
    • Meeting date: 21 March 2007
