• 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?

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.

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?

Bob Neill (AM): I am sure that is right. It is a shame that GOL are not here so that we could have heard it be said. Brian Coleman (Chair): Indeed, we wish Mr Kowalczyk was here, so we could pay tribute to him this morning, but unfortunately he is not. I am sure, however, his spies are in the audience somewhere. Can I just ask, Mr Mayer, are you saying we need, in your professional opinion as an officer ' or 'mere bureaucrat,' as you describe yourself ' that we need an office of emergency planning in London?

I would have thought that within minutes it would have been obvious even to the most lowly of Londoners whether an issue was of a major catastrophe or just a local incident, so I am surprised that it is going to take 48 hours to determine who takes the lead, because as soon as something happens, in less than 48 seconds, CNN and Sky will want to be there, and they will be taking the lead. Therefore, who actually is going to fill that gap whilst you are hauling in chief executives from Essex or Hertfordshire, as I know where...

An important part of what we want to try to achieve is to reassure Londoners that proper procedures are in place. What reassurance is there? What can I say to my constituency as to who is in charge at the moment for planning a) for resilience, b) for recovery? Secondly, who is providing the money for those, and where is it going?

Is that the answer to all the questions? The whole lot? At the moment, we have a scenario where the boroughs have some emergency planning, civil defence, old-fashioned-type powers. LFEPA has some powers. The other emergency services have a smattering of powers. Are you satisfied, Mr Mayer, that we have an accountable form of joining those together, or do we have a reassurance gap, as far as London is concerned? It may be being done by Nick Raynsford, but how do we assure Londoners that it is being'?
