  • 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?

  • Transport Safer Neighbourhood Teams (2) (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 08 November 2006
    I was going to make a plug for us to have a base in Enfield and Haringey. Can I also a ask that when you are looking at this you look at some of the hot spots, particularly around schools? Right down the Hertford Road and the A10 in Enfield we have something like five secondary schools coming out on to the same bus routes, and I think that needs to be factored in to where you base 'Transport Safer Neighbourhood Teams.

  • Transport Safer Neighbourhood Teams (2) (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 08 November 2006
    So you would be looking for properties or bases quite soon for them to work out of?

  • Transport Safer Neighbourhood Teams (2) (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 08 November 2006
    Can I just check, these are for outer London and I understand they are going to be based in certain boroughs but be a `transport flying squad' and go round where the need arises?

  • Transport Safer Neighbourhood Teams (2) (Supplementary) [10]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 08 November 2006
    A number of the issues I was going to raise have been dealt with but I wanted to ask about what the Commissioner has just said. TfL, as I understand it, are paying for the PCSOs and that is on the basis of the map of crime that they have, that is evidence based. It is about the boundaries. How then are you going to modify that? You have already taken on some views like Jo (McCartney) asking for an extension there. Do you not think it would be reasonable to stay with the evidence and so we know that...
