  • Strategy for GLA International Relations (Supplementary) [38]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    I certainly do not characterise Monsieur Delanoe [Mayor of Paris] as an extremist. I do not think he has ever, even in his youth, advocated arming workers' militias or anything of that kind, Mr Ross.

  • Strategy for GLA International Relations (Supplementary) [39]

    • Question by: Sally Hamwee
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    I am interested to get a sense of where relations with Europe - or perhaps I should say the rest of Europe at the risk of alienating some people round the Chamber - figure in this. John [Ross], you mentioned the Euro Zone but that is not the whole of Europe. One could talk of the Euro Zone, the EU and Europe. We have the Brussels office costing something over £400,000 a year.

    Did the Ambassador in Cuba accompany the Mayor on his trips?

  • Strategy for GLA International Relations (Supplementary) [42]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    Richard Barnes (AM): That is a bit strange then because Murziline Parchment and her researcher, Christopher Fleming, went to New York to the New York City Cities Conference on 17 January, and the International Relations Unit prepared a briefing note for her which says -,`Tokyo has been a partner city for some time, but the cities are yet to work together on any projects' and that was January 2006 the agreement was reached. `The Governor of Tokyo' - and I quote directly from the briefing note - `Shiin Taro Ishihara is very right wing. Ken and he have met and...

  • Strategy for GLA International Relations (Supplementary) [43]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    I think they do rather more than that though. What about the political sections. Any advice asked as to the handling of the trip?

  • Strategy for GLA International Relations (Supplementary) [44]

    • Question by: Sally Hamwee
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    That thought had actually occurred to me as well, that it is included in the figures, and I think most people would regard it as international.

    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    So he did not accompany him?

  • Strategy for GLA International Relations (Supplementary) [46]

    • Question by: Sally Hamwee
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    So this is a relationship between cities, because I was not sure whether promoting our position within the EU came within promotion, which was one of your three top priorities?

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    I am glad for the confirmation that it was said. But what I want to ask is this; have you got an international relations section, or advisors in the Mayor's Office?
