  • Budget and Venues Update (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    Can I just ask Mary about the LDA's perspective. The Memorandum of Understanding has been renegotiated. We have heard the assurances today about budgets but we clearly do not know what the position will be when we get the final outturn on everything. Have you got any concerns that the Government might withdraw revenue for support grant, for example, from the GLA to compensate for any cost overruns?
  • Budget and Venues Update (Supplementary) [33]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    In the event that there are major cost overruns, you have not put this into your risk assessment of the project, that we would lose money as an authority from the Government in direct relation to any cost overruns that take place?
  • Olympics (Supplementary) [14]

    That is 9,000, of which we have got 23 per cent secured.
  • Olympics (Supplementary) [15]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 11 October 2006

  • Legacy (Supplementary) [15]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 10 October 2006
    I agree completely over the decision-making. Do you have the power of veto over a decision made by the ODA?
  • Legacy (Supplementary) [16]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 10 October 2006
    Let us come back to the legacy issues and the day to day decision-making that is going on because one of the areas that we have had interesting discussions about is how those decisions are made. So, how involved are you in the day-to-day decision-making around the position of creating the legacy for the Games?
  • LOCOG Budget (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 10 October 2006
    But are you content that the in-venue security budget is sufficient, given what you know now?
  • LOCOG Budget (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 10 October 2006
    The cost of the security included in the bid was relatively low compared to what we spent, for example, at Athens, and as we know the world has become probably an even more dangerous place than it was. Are you revisiting the cost of security in the budget process?
  • Sponsorship (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 10 October 2006
    Okay, what happens if there is a shortfall on this Tier 1 sponsorship?
