  • Key Priorities (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 13 January 2010
    Harvey, can I bring you back to the beginning when you mentioned the LDA objectives and one of them being international promotion? It is interesting, over Christmas reading things like The Economist, it was suggesting that the developing countries have come out of the recession much better than anyone had expected and that this has profound consequences on the rest of the world, including London.

  • LDA Priorities (Supplementary) [10]

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi

  • Outer London Boroughs (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi

  • Olympic facilities outside of the Lee Valley (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 08 September 2005
    Thank you for that response, Mayor. Most of the other venues outside of the Olympic Village itself are outside of the local government structures. I was just wondering, whilst we have heard good words and deeds from the various venues, how we can make sure that there are other mechanisms for them to be accountable. Have bodies like Sport England a role to play in this?
