  • Catering at Games' Venues (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Navin Shah
    • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
    Again, I am very happy to see you around. The question is on your policy and strategy about promoting fair trade products and that is right across the board, not only food and drink, but other products, sporting or otherwise?

  • Risks (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
    I would agree with you. I did anticipate that the previous question would take up time. Indeed our Members were choreographed to take up time on it, which would have meant I would have been here, Chair, so I will have to expel them later! I am very grateful for the reply and I think I did catch its basic contents. I think we all welcome your commitment to legacy although, of course, you will be long gone in this capacity by the time we really discover whether there was a legacy. Do you think there is a tension between...

  • Risks (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
    I have two questions. I think one is for Seb because I know that he has given this commitment to young people. Is there a risk that young people will be squeezed out? It is linked to the ticketing issue. I am just wanting assurance from you, yet again, that there is a plan and that we would never ever sit in our living rooms and see empty seats in any stadia, given that we have got millions of young people in London who could be there taking up those seats. That is, if you like, the back up, but...

  • Budget and Venues Update (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    My question is to Paul Deighton at LOCOG. We know the Chinese are going to be spending a fortune on the opening ceremony. How much are we actually spending on that?

  • Budget and Venues Update (Supplementary) [30]

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    I am glad to hear that emphasis. The other thing you touched on was TV rights and that clearly is the cash-cow that underlies most of LOCOG's finances and is hopefully subsidising some of the infrastructure works. It is quite probable that this TV deal over the London Olympics in 2012 will be quite a major expansion from what it is at the moment. If the Chinese get hooked on Olympic gold, I think you will have two competing TV markets. What arrangements will there be for us to take a bigger percentage of that rather than take a lump...

  • Mitigating the Games-time Environmental Impact (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    OK. Perhaps this next question is to LOCOG. Have you clarified what your expectations are in terms of what the broad percentage targets will be for the management of the waste on the site? How much is going to be incinerated? How much is going to be recycled? Have you got any ideas at all and will that be in the planning?

  • LDA Board Meetings (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Meg Hillier
    • Meeting date: 10 October 2001
    I share a number of the concerns that Tony's outlined and if we can perhaps particularly focus on the website. We're supposed to be, as the GLA family, into open government and the web approach was something that was an ethos that the Mayor and others agree is a great way of people having access. However, if you go onto the LDA website it seems, as Tony says, that you control what comes out in terms of press releases and I haven't yet managed to find the minutes on the website. Maybe I'm just not very good at browsing. But...

  • LDA Board Meetings (Supplementary) [9]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 10 October 2001
    Michael, rumours are flying around about the large amount of jobs that have been lost to date. Can you not give us an assurance and tell us are we talking thousands of jobs to date or what have you got that you can share with us today?

  • Accountability and Delivery (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Meg Hillier
    • Meeting date: 10 October 2001
    Can I say I am very happy to see the audit report? I have to say I never actually received my own copy, even though I asked the question originally. I was given a copy by a member of the press. I'm glad we have a free press that somehow gets access to this information. But I was very delighted when the Chair, George Barlow, indicated early on that he was going to seek an internal audit. But this doesn't seem to square with the letter I received from the Chief Executive when I made the initial enquiry about how...
