• Question by: Andrew Boff
• Meeting date: 14 November 2012

In September I published a report, Radically Normal, making recommendations for how the plans for the future housing on the Olympic Park can be improved. Will you endorse these recommendations and commit to ensuring that more, larger, high-quality family-sized homes are built to the highest environmental standards?

• Question by: Richard Tracey
• Meeting date: 14 November 2012

Richard Tracey (AM): Boris, you have heard the discussion in John Biggs' question about the Stadium and indeed Dennis Hone told us at the Budget and Performance Committee that he believed it would be 2015 or 2016 before the Stadium could reopen. Can I ask you as the Chairman of the LLDC as well as the Mayor, will you set an objective of opening it before that point? I quite agree with John Biggs and the point has been made elsewhere. It would be a bit shameful if we could not reopen it before Rio has completely finished its Olympics.

John Biggs (AM): A very simple question to start which is, in answering Caroline Pidgeon's question, do you have enough money to deliver your promises concerning the physical legacy of the Olympic Park?

• Question by: Tom Copley
• Meeting date: 14 November 2012

Tom Copley (AM): Good morning, Mr Mayor. Boris Johnson (Chairman, LLDC): Good morning. Tom Copley (AM): I wanted to ask you a couple of questions about community land trusts. I believe that in 2005 thousands of homes were promised to the people of east London as part of community land trusts. I would like to ask you first of all what progress is being made on delivering those promised homes?

• Question by: Nicky Gavron
• Meeting date: 14 November 2012

Nicky Gavron (AM): I want to go back if I may to Caroline Pidgeon's question where you were talking about the level of affordable housing. There has always been a real concern that the brilliant and beautifully planned Park and its neighbourhood might become an enclave for relatively well-off people. It would be a real failure for legacy if it were not to deliver mixed and balanced communities. Now, 35% affordable homes is not a very high proportion. Could I drill down into what is meant by 'affordable'? I do not mind which of you answers.

• Meeting date: 14 November 2012

Roger Evans (AM): Thank you. Mr Mayor, can you just tell us how far outside the boundary of the Olympic Park your vision is going to extend?

• Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
• Meeting date: 14 November 2012

Jennette Arnold (AM): Yes, thank you. My line of questioning to both you gentlemen is about the media and broadcast centres and about, if you like, the haste and the urgency that we have in this area about getting jobs and investment going in as soon as possible. We do not want to repeat the saga of the Stadium. So it is an answer from both of you. Can you confirm that in January 2013 iCity will be confirmed as the consortia for the legacy project of the media and broadcast centres?
