  • Balance of Taxation (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 24 October 2012
    Roger Evans (AM): I too spent a pleasant lunch some years ago being lobbied on this matter by Dave Wetzel [President of the Labour Land Campaign]. Professor Tony Travers (Chair, London Finance Commission): It is always fun. Roger Evans (AM): Yes, and he made the point that Jenny [Jones] does that it would encourage better use of land in London. Does that not mean that if you are using a piece of land for residential purposes it will encourage you to put a block of flats on it, the higher the better, rather than just ordinary houses?

    Just to slightly pursue some of the answers that we have had here. When you are planning a Mayoral visit - and, Mr Ross, you are an economist - what value do you place on a Mayoral visit, on average?
  • Environmental Impact (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    Well you have not done it on the environment so far have you? I was using examples from elsewhere to show that you do not do it in this case.
