In the light of Jacques Rogge's statement that the Olympic Route Network is not essential, will the ODA reconsider imposing the ORN on Londoners?
Living Wage (Supplementary) [1]
- Question by: Brian Coleman
- Meeting date: 21 October 2009
Mr Armitt, let us just get this straight. You approved Mr Higgins' package which is £641,000 a year, but your own package is £250,000. That is part time isn't it?
Risks (Supplementary) [2]
- Question by: Richard Barnes
- Meeting date: 21 October 2009
Thank you, Chair. I would have thought one of the greatest risks that you actually run is the security of the site during build and, indeed, during the Games itself. Are you content that the structure, where you have got Ian Johnson now heading security, I assume within the Park? I am not sure if he has got responsibility for all the 134 sites plus the free to view Games. You have got him there. You have got the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) through Chris Allison [Assistant Commissioner, Central Operations, Metropolitan Police Service] and the public order with the responsibility...
Olympic Route Network (Supplementary) [4]
- Question by: Victoria Borwick
- Meeting date: 21 October 2009
A couple of quick questions if I may. Could you just confirm that the vehicles operating on the Olympic Route Network will all be disability compliant? The next question is perhaps you could update us on the blue light services and what planning you will make to make sure that they adjust their route planning models because we know there is a limited amount of time and they need to get themselves organised? The final question is when would you reveal which of the ORN roads have exclusive Olympic lanes?
Review process of LDA funding

- Question by: Tony Arbour
- Meeting date: 16 January 2008
Yes. I would like to know exactly how you carried out your investigation; for example, did you interview the whistleblower, Brenda Stern, as to the allegations which she made and which were repeated in the Evening Standard?
Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [12]
- Question by: Bob Neill
- Meeting date: 16 January 2008
Understood. Then, quite separately, as you also point out in your report, there is a separate police investigation into the Green Badge Taxi School which you are cooperating with?
Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [13]
- Question by: Bob Neill
- Meeting date: 16 January 2008
Yes, thank you very much, so that is an internal review. Your conclusions in the report, which I have read and which were submitted to the LDA Board, really put it in these terms, do they not, as Mike Tuffrey has said; in a nutshell, of the six you concentrated on, four require further work, three of those specifically involve the police and we do not know whether Brixton Base will involve the police or not because it is too early to say yet; you need to do further work. Is that a fair conclusion?

But none of the organisations have received grants?
Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [17]
- Question by: Bob Neill
- Meeting date: 16 January 2008
Mr Travers, you have already made it clear, and I think it follows, that you did not speak to people who are not employees of the LDA. Does that mean you did not speak to Mr Jasper?
Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [19]
- Question by: Bob Neill
- Meeting date: 16 January 2008
So, two thirds of the six you concentrated on require further work. You make the point in your report, 'Further work is required in respect of four organisations including referral to police and no conclusions are reached in respect of those matters' for the reasons you have sensibly set out?
