  • Investing in Tobacco Companies (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 13 September 2006
    The Labour Council did not vote against it, I understand.

  • Investing in Tobacco Companies (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 13 September 2006
    No, I was adding it to the statistics that he has used, so that he can use that in future.

  • TfL Street Management Efficiency and Probity (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
    • Meeting date: 13 September 2006
    I think it is not just the efficiency that has been improved, but they have actually reduced their risk to probity now, but anyway, thank you. I will go back to TfL with some of the detail. Thank you.

  • Safe Access to Licensed Minicabs (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
    • Meeting date: 12 July 2006
    I think we have to put some positive incentives to minicab drivers, having gone through the registration scheme. I think it would help reinforce what is a successful safety scheme

  • Living wage (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 08 September 2005
    Finally, you mentioned as well that it is not just about tackling the issue of low pay here, but it is making sure that people are paid a decent wage for all work done in relation to the Olympics. Therefore, in terms of merchandise being imported and so on, will you be making sure that there are guarantees that that is not through sweatshop labour, and that there are principles of fair trade, fair pay, and so on incorporated into that?

  • Olympic Organisations (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 08 September 2005
    Would you not agree with the me that, actually, the approach to take now is to sweep away this bureaucracy and have exactly what you have said: a simple organisation that everyone can understand, so if things go wrong, we know who to look to, rather than it being obscured all over the place?

  • Olympic Organisations (Supplementary) [9]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 08 September 2005
    There are not going to be. Okay, fine.

  • Local Community Interests (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 08 September 2005
    I think I meant London citizens in lower case, rather than that particular organisation.

  • Outer London Boroughs (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 08 September 2005
    I am glad to hear that, and I suspect a lot of local authorities will be competing amongst themselves for which countries to host. Could you just keep me informed about those developments, because it is quite a critical one that we need to keep an eye on.

  • Olympic facilities outside of the Lee Valley (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 08 September 2005
    Thank you for that response, Mayor. Most of the other venues outside of the Olympic Village itself are outside of the local government structures. I was just wondering, whilst we have heard good words and deeds from the various venues, how we can make sure that there are other mechanisms for them to be accountable. Have bodies like Sport England a role to play in this?
