What lessons are you learning from John Prescott's [Former Deputy Prime Minister] ministerial lane on the M4 and the public relations disaster that was? Also what contingency arrangements will you make for getting around London if, as I expect - and I obviously I represent large parts of Central London - there is some kind of protest from irate commuters, drivers, delivery...

  • Staffing Appointments (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Nicky Gavron
    • Meeting date: 10 October 2006
    Are you going to appoint a member of staff or even, indeed, more, to co-ordinate the engagement with young people because they need very special facilitation? I can understand you might not have something yet but I think it is very necessary.
