  • Transport (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 08 December 2010
    Just a quick question in my usual friendly fashion. Many of my constituents and a lot of Londoners will be very anxious that, particularly in the light of the events of the last week - and I know Lord Coe has commented on this already - that any perception that the ORN was some sort of bung to make it easy for rich men in blazers - in some cases corrupt men in blazers - to drive around London - would be very strongly resisted. Dee Doocey (Chair): Your question, Mr Biggs? John Biggs (AM): The question is here. Londoners...

  • Transport (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
    • Meeting date: 08 December 2010
    We all wish heartily for a very successful Games but I hope you will understand, therefore, it is important to get the worries out and debated and sorted early in advance of the event itself. As you know the Transport Committee has been doing a scrutiny exercise. We are midway through it and we are due to see you in the New Year. I wanted to put to you some of the worries that seem to be coming up through that process that we need to be resolved. London's councils were very unhappy about the lack of sharing of detailed...

  • Transport (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 08 December 2010
    John, I want to follow up on my colleague's, Val Shawcross', questions and I want to add the concerns of many of my constituents who, as you know, live in Hackney, Islington and Waltham Forest. I can assure you that, although we can sit here gladly talking about traffic orders and the discussions there, what they are concerned about and what they want to know as soon as possible - and they should be knowing now - is will the orders be over 40 days and nights? I have put that figure together in terms of the Games, the gap...

  • Risks (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Nicky Gavron
    • Meeting date: 08 December 2010
    The question is about climate change as a risk; two different aspects of it. One the risk to London's carbon footprint because, however much you are making savings, you are still increasing the carbon. I would like some figures. The second one is the risk of extreme weather events.

  • Risks (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 08 December 2010
    Can I take a different tack with the ticket issue which is very important to sporting fans before transport and getting there. It is the reputational damage risk. The one thing that harmed the Sydney Games was 10,000 Australians, allegedly, applied for free public tickets for one of the triathlon sessions. I want assurances from LOCOG we are not going to have the same incident here and there will be the fair availability of reasonably priced tickets, which we all want?

  • LFPA Statement of Investment Principles (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 17 January 2007
    I just wanted to go into the whole area of possible exposure to hedge funds, and what that may mean for our pension holders. Both directly and indirectly, our exposure to the derivative market is of concern to a lot of people, given how much coverage it gets in the business pages.

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 17 January 2007
    Which mirrors much of the behaviour of the hedge funds we have got in London, because I mean London has become a centre of all that. I am just concerned whether, to the extent of our exposure, both directly and indirectly, and to what extent that limits our ability to be ethical as well.

  • Investment in Tobacco Companies and the Arms Trade (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 17 January 2007
    Can I then ask what is the current investment in, specifically, tobacco? I ask this because I raised this question in September 2005 with the Mayor, and his answer then was that he was of the opinion that LPFA was looking towards developing an ethical investment policy that would take account of this type of issue. Can I just add, you talked about employment and you said it was fine, if you like, to be investing in BAE (British Aerospace) because it gave us great employment. Is it fine to stay investing in tobacco companies that kill hundreds of thousands...
