  • Visit London (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    You are saying that on occasion they have been paid to travel. Perhaps you could give me an example of where somebody has been to promote London?

  • Visit London (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    Well, their travel is paid for in order to promote London. Could you perhaps give me an example of where a trip has been taken by someone from the Mayor's Office?

  • Visit London (Supplementary) [9]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    Presumably there is a budget within Visit London to pay for people to travel abroad to promote London abroad, is there? How much is that approximately?

  • Visit London (Supplementary) [10]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    Would those people that do that promotional work ever be the Mayor or anybody from his office? His advisors?

  • Visit London (Supplementary) [11]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    I can understand that, but that does not sound to me like Visit London. That sounds to me like something quite separate from a budget which is about promoting tourism to London.

  • Visit London (Supplementary) [12]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    When I get this information from you which you have said you are going to provide, I will be able to see that every single visit that has been made by somebody from the Mayoral office will have led to some major advance in our relationship with that country, whether it is to do with tourism or indeed to do with environmental issues? There will always be a major measured purpose with an outcome that you can demonstrate to me?

  • Visit London (Supplementary) [17]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    Would it be possible for you to provide us with the information of what trips have been taken by members of the Mayor's Office and where they have been taken in order to promote London?

  • Visit London (Supplementary) [18]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    Presumably you have measurements as to whether that is good value for money. Can you tell us where you have made measurements from these trips and what added value they have brought to tourism in London by their travels?

  • Visit London (Supplementary) [20]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    That was partly paid for by Visit London was it?

  • Government Targets

    • Reference: 2007/0112-1
    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 07 November 2007
    Do you share the view of Bob Quick, Chief Constable of Surrey that government targets are making officers and the CPS "skew" their operations towards easy results?
