  • Strategic Leadership (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Andrew Boff
    • Meeting date: 20 October 2010
    Could you, Mr Blakeway, promise me not to carry anything over from the last administration with regard to housing?

    You talked about levers and about your optimism about new flexibility and new innovative ways of delivering housing in the future.

    • Meeting date: 08 September 2005
    Finally, you mentioned as well that it is not just about tackling the issue of low pay here, but it is making sure that people are paid a decent wage for all work done in relation to the Olympics. Therefore, in terms of merchandise being imported and so on, will you be making sure that there are guarantees that that is not through sweatshop labour, and that there are principles of fair trade, fair pay, and so on incorporated into that?
