  • LOCOG

    • Reference: 2012/0042-2
    • Question by: Andrew Boff
    • Meeting date: 19 July 2012
    When the last Government decided to set up LOCOG as a private company rather than a public agency, it was sold as a way of speeding up their procurement. After extensive questioning from all sides of this Assembly, it now appears that the motive may have been to escape the sort of standards of transparency that one would have expected from public bodies. Can you tell me, have you ever expressed dissatisfaction with the timing or quality of the information coming from LOCOG?

  • DCMS Funding

    • Reference: 2012/2024
    • Question by: Andrew Boff
    • Meeting date: 04 July 2012
    If the rumours about the future of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport after the Olympics and changes to its budget are to be believed, serious damage could be done to the already dubious sports legacy of the Olympic and Paralympic Games. What are you doing to ensure the promised sports legacy is delivered in London and does not suffer from any reduced funding to DCMS?

  • Olympic marketing protocol

    • Reference: 2012/1517
    • Question by: Andrew Boff
    • Meeting date: 13 June 2012
    LOCOG's 'No marketing rights' protocol and brand protection rules are starting to be enforced with ever increasing vigour, with the public being informed, for example, that they will not be able to upload videos or pictures of the Games onto social media platforms. Will you put pressure on LOCOG to relax these rules, or at least hold back on their enforcement, due to their potential to both limit the economic benefits of the Games, and severely dampen the spirits of the public who's enthusiasm is so crucial to ensuring a successful Olympics?
