• Question by: Emma Best
• Meeting date: 06 October 2022

Emma Best AM: Thank you, Chair. My colleague just briefly brought up the London Youth Games there and I wanted to quickly confirm, hopefully, from either Lyn or Jules whether, with young children being able to use the Olympic Stadium and facilities over the last ten years, that legacy will continue and they will continue to use those facilities over the next ten years and beyond.

• Question by: Onkar Sahota
• Meeting date: 06 October 2022

Dr Onkar Sahota AM: Hi. Thanks. My questions are about the grassroots participation in sports, but particularly I wanted to find out what the impact has been of the Olympics and/or subsequently on the participation of people with disabilities in sports. Have we done anything to improve their position and their participation in sports?

• Meeting date: 06 October 2022

Peter Fortune AM: Thank you very much. This is for Lyn and Sir Peter. I have the quarter one (Q1) performance and finance pack in front of me. Highlighted on the risk register is the decision around His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and the corporation tax. Can you give us a quick update about that and about whether or not that application has been approved? Also, around treasury management, where are you at the moment with borrowing? Have there been any conversations with the GLA about rate fluctuations for payments back? Maybe give me a headline and we can...

• Meeting date: 06 October 2022

Zack Polanski AM: Thank you. Lyn, if I can direct my questions to you, these are about culture and creativity. Hackney Wick and Fish Island were used as case studies, particularly in your Local Plan 2020-2036, highlighting them as a Creative Enterprise Zone. It strikes me that a lot of this was about redistributing existing space. What is being done to create new space, particularly for small creative artists?

• Question by: Joanne McCartney
• Meeting date: 06 October 2022

Joanne McCartney AM: Thank you. Dave has very nicely given me a bridge into my question. I am going to ask probably Lyn. Do you think the Olympics has delivered the cultural legacy that we expected?

• Question by: Sem Moema
• Meeting date: 06 October 2022

Sem Moema AM: Thank you, Chair. Before I ask my quick question, I want to welcome Dave. Thank you for travelling all this way and I hope you get a question, but sadly my question is for Jules and Lyn. I am sorry. My question is very similar to Assembly Member Berry’s about GRT provision, but just to say that Bartrip Street was a TfL-Hackney partnership rather than the GLA’s. Perhaps you may not have been involved with that. I have been in discussion with Tom Copley [Deputy Mayor for Housing and Residential Development] about supporting the reprovision of that...

• Question by: Anne Clarke
• Meeting date: 06 October 2022

Anne Clarke AM: Thank you, Chair. Good afternoon, everyone. Jules, you have talked a lot about housing delivery, and I want to come back to that. Since this project has started, the world has changed significantly and for many reasons. I am just wondering what impact factors such as COVID and Brexit have had, and also this emerging economic storm, on the ability to deliver housing.

• Question by: Unmesh Desai
• Meeting date: 06 October 2022

Unmesh Desai AM: Thank you, Chair. Good afternoon, panel. My question is about the demands of policing mega events and it is to you, Lyn. The policing operation for the Olympics was huge and a success. However, one of the problems with policing mega events, as a Government report made clear in 2020, is the coordination between multiple agencies. With the current and anticipated increasing footfall in the Stratford area with the ABBA [Voyage] Arena and the proposed MSG Sphere, how are you working with the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS), the British Transport Police (BTP) and other agencies to meet...

• Question by: Elly Baker
• Meeting date: 06 October 2022

Elly Baker AM: Thank you, Chair. My questions are about the transport legacy of the Games and they will be directed to Sir Peter Hendy. Sir Peter, in March 2012, the previous Mayor published his Olympic and Paralympic transport legacy action plan. Do you feel it has been delivered?

• Question by: Leonie Cooper
• Meeting date: 06 October 2022

Léonie Cooper AM: Thank you very much, Chair. Sorry, I thought we were going to hear from the rest of the Conservatives before we moved over to anybody else. I would like to speak to Lyn Garner and I would also like to say to Assembly Member Garratt, who is not privy to these discussions, that the Mayor was not invited today. That is why he is not here. It has nothing to do with his diary being full or otherwise. It is sad that you do not know about these things from your Group leader, perhaps. Lyn, do you...
