    Finally, you mentioned as well that it is not just about tackling the issue of low pay here, but it is making sure that people are paid a decent wage for all work done in relation to the Olympics. Therefore, in terms of merchandise being imported and so on, will you be making sure that there are guarantees that that is not through sweatshop labour, and that there are principles of fair trade, fair pay, and so on incorporated into that?

    • Meeting date: 15 October 2003
    Just quickly on the financing aspect. There are so many problems facing London and we have covered some of them today. How can you go about convincing Londoners that this is the best possible use of a Council Tax increase, given that there are so many other priorities facing London? We have only had city-wide Government in London for three years and we are facing so many problem in terms of transport, regeneration, environmental issues and so on. How can you convince people that extra money for the Olympics is the best possible use of Council Tax payers' money?
