  • Tourism in Outer London (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 04 November 2015
    Richard Tracey AM: I must say that all the foreign visitors I talk to, whether I know them well or not, complain about the large numbers in central London now. It is a buzzy city but it is also, they feel, very crowded, extremely busy and quite tiring. This is a well‑targeted question that Tony Arbour [AM] has put to you about outer London.

  • Planning (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 21 July 2010
    One historically controversial area has been the sale of school playing fields by local authorities for development. What sort of controls are you going to keep over that because the public do have some very strong feelings about it?
