    So you are guaranteeing that we are seeing no reduction whatsoever in the amount of public open space?

  • Olympics Park and Venues (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    So the other pieces of public open space which are not contained in this application will be in other applications or have been agreed already?

  • Olympics Park and Venues (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    Thank you. David [Higgins] mentioned the size of the Park earlier, but the new planning application does reduce the amount of open space in the Park by the equivalent of 34 football pitches, from 127 hectares to 109 hectares. The application is smaller than the previous one. We are getting a smaller park are we not?

  • Olympics Park and Venues (Supplementary) [9]

    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    OK, thanks. If I can briefly move on now to sustainability standards? Last month the Mayor told us that now the budget had been agreed, we can expect improvements in the environmental standards for the Olympics. What changes will be made now that you have the money in the budget?

    Planned expenditure on the park and venues has risen from £2.4bn to £3.1bn in the last two years. What long-term benefits will Londoners see as a result of this extra money?

  • Role of Education, Training & Employment in Lifting People out of Poverty (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 19 July 2006
    Picking up on Kate (Green)'s point about more joined-up thinking on targets and so on, in linking with other strategies, in 2003 the GLA Consultation Tackling Poverty in London had a number of recommendations including the commitment to assess GLA policies and strategies for their contribution to poverty reduction and to produce an annual Poverty Monitoring Report on the success of GLA interventions. Can I ask John why these recommendations were not carried out?

  • Role of Education, Training & Employment in Lifting People out of Poverty (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 19 July 2006
    So, the Mayor has new powers now on skills, and we've just heard that he is going to be playing a leading role in that. Can I ask the rest of the panel how you see that making a difference in terms of tackling poverty?

    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 19 July 2006
    There's nothing wrong with leading questions, I think Kate (Green) very helpfully put it on the agenda; I am just exploring this line of inquiry.
