  • Lessons Learned from Beijing (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 19 November 2008
    Just watching the Games you got the impression that it was a very top-down operation. Obviously the authorities in Beijing were able to direct the activities of their population, even down to telling them that they could only protest in one particular park and that type of thing. London, as you know, is very much more complex and rebellious than that. What plans have you got in place to ensure the Games can take place without making it a completely claustrophobic event for the people who have to live and work here?

  • Approving and Planning Foreign Travel (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    It is just that you are making comments to us like, `It is good to go to New York because tourists spend a huge amount of money in London'. The implication is if the Mayor did not go to New York the tourists would not come to London. What actual value is that adding?

  • Approving and Planning Foreign Travel (Supplementary) [11]

    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    You could not have given those assurances on the phone?

  • Approving and Planning Foreign Travel (Supplementary) [16]

    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    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.

  • Olympic Route Network (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 10 October 2006
    Are you planning for the possibility that Crossrail might be being constructed at the same time as the Games or are you effectively leaving that out of the equation, saying, `Well, it is probably going to happen afterwards'?

  • Olympic Route Network (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 10 October 2006
    Thank you. The Mayor tells us that he expects one in five Londoners to go away during the Olympics. I am not quite sure whether that is the sort of target you would have in mind. Is that something which you are relying on?

  • Olympic Route Network (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 10 October 2006
    I was talking more about construction than completion because a lot of the work for Crossrail at its eastern end would be close to the Olympic Park and if it was taking place at the same time that would provide you with extra challenges that you would need to overcome. Is that something you are planning for?

  • Olympic Route Network (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 10 October 2006
    And you are satisfied the bus lanes have the capacity to be able to take this extra traffic and not disrupt the bus service?

  • Olympic Route Network (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 10 October 2006
    You told us that you have got 240 kilometres of Olympic Route Network planned. How much of that is based on existing bus lanes and how much of it is going to be new work, effectively?
