    • Meeting date: 15 February 2007
    On this issue of economic boost, clearly it would give London and economic boost if we committed to a living wage for all the workers. Is this going to be -- I know the ODA is working with London citizens to ease this forward. Is this going to be living wage Olympics? Are we going to be globally embarrassed?

    Can I come on to LOCOG? Let us talk about a deadline that LOCOG actually had, which was for a sustainability management system that was promised immediately following the election of the host city. As far as I know that still has not happened.

    David, I am actually one of the stakeholders and also of course the Royal Institute for British Architects (RIBA) are also stakeholders and neither of us is happy. In fact, for example, RIBA actually said `the ODA sustainability policy is a disappointing missed opportunity'. From our point of view, we do not how you can call some of these measures exemplary, you know, when they will already be backed by Building Regulations by 2010. It has got to be bigger than something we are getting two years before the Olympics. You know, whether it is water usage, or the energy...

    • Meeting date: 15 February 2007
    Forgive me, I do not doubt your intention to make this the greenest Olympics ever. I do not doubt that, but I do doubt your ability to do it without really good advice. One of the big issues that really offends me is there is going to be a commission for sustainable London 2012, and there seems to be delays in getting this going and the fact is you need that scrutiny body. It is very, very important for you to have that, because there is expert advice there, on hand, with an overview of the sort of thing that...

    `Temporary' is two years. You are moving that football club on, that's Sunday league, for two years.

    Let us look at the cost, then. It is expensive to start taking green space and then reconstitute it. Why not just leave it and find another option?

    • Question by: Jenny Jones
    • Meeting date: 13 October 2004
    It has actually proven quite difficult for me to sit here and listen, and not stand up and shout, `rubbish,- because you are talking about environmental sustainability, you are talking about legacy in east London, and yet you are planning to tarmac over a piece of Hackney Marshes: East Marsh... You are ignoring the wishes of the local people, who have come up with several other options instead of tarmacking over a piece of green space. Why are you not consulting the local people? I can give you three suggestions. I have a map and can point to these places...
