Cycle safety (Supplementary) [2]

  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 22 February 2012
Mr Mayor, you keep saying that cycling is becoming safer and I have written to you several times now to tell you, using TfL figures, that cycling is not becoming safer. It is becoming less safe since you became Mayor because cycle casualties --

Cycle safety (Supplementary) [1]

  • Question by: James Cleverly
  • Meeting date: 22 February 2012
Mr Mayor, the questions so far have concentrated on physical infrastructure, trixi mirrors, junction layouts and that kind of stuff, but would you concede that a significant but often undervalued element of cycle safety is the herd immunity: the idea that, as increasing numbers of people cycle, the other road users become more used to cyclists, become aware of cyclists in their day-to-day driving habits and adapt their driving styles to accommodate cyclists? Actually, we need to balance. While cycle safety infrastructure is important, we also need to balance that with a consistent and compelling narrative that cycling in London...

London Living Wage for the London 2012 Games (Supplementary) [1]

  • Question by: Richard Barnes
  • Meeting date: 22 February 2012
Mr Mayor, will you join me in recognising that Darren makes a very strong moral point, but he does not make a very strong legal point because the appointment of the official hotels was put out to tender? It has to have done so under the laws that prevail in this land and Europe and it fell within the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) rules. That is that London's Living Wage is a non-legally enforceable living wage in London, although it may well be morally demanded. Although we recognise his moral point, he rather is getting his feathers...

Experience (Supplementary) [3]

OK. Thank you, Chair. The question is to Lord Coe. You recall we had some disagreements about Dow's sponsorship. I want to talk about that. You mentioned throughout our discussions that despite the available evidence, Dow had no case to answer according to you because you claimed that full and final settlement had been made. Is this an issue you would have done differently? Your position, in my view, certainly was wholly unsustainable.

Experience (Supplementary) [2]

  • Question by: Victoria Borwick
  • Meeting date: 14 November 2012
Changing back to a different topic in view of some of the questions we have just had - and I am very conscious that our session this morning is time-limited, as you know - I do want to highlight in this area of what is different or what is not different the tremendous sense of participation you gave to the volunteers and to the Games Makers. I know that as you close there will be many Games Makers who think that possibly their options of other things they are going to do are going to finish. However, I know even...

Experience (Supplementary) [1]

  • Question by: Joanne McCartney
  • Meeting date: 14 November 2012
Thank you. I wanted to ask you particularly about the sporting legacy and particularly school children. As you said, that is the one thing that you perhaps would have done differently with

Affordable Ticket Guarantees (Supplementary) [6]

  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 14 November 2012
Thank you. Can I just clarify? You are going to put all the raw data into London Datastore. Is that right?

Affordable Ticket Guarantees (Supplementary) [5]

  • Question by: Andrew Boff
  • Meeting date: 14 November 2012
Lord Deighton, what we had asked for in our meeting back in March/April - I cannot remember when it was - what we had asked for and what we received an assurance about was that we would get the data immediately after the Olympics; it would be released to us and that we would be able to make judgments about the allocations. What we received was an embargoed set of aggregated data, not the raw data that we wanted. We received an embargoed set of aggregated data one week before this meeting, embargoed until yesterday, and we get the breakdown...

Affordable Ticket Guarantees (Supplementary) [4]

  • Question by: Nicky Gavron
  • Meeting date: 14 November 2012
This is not in any way to diminish what I think is your spectacular achievement, but it is just one story. My family got tickets for the Paralympics. We were unable to get any tickets for sessions at the Games that we wanted to go to. At the very last minute, at a pretty hefty price, we were able to go to the O2 to see the first Saturday - absolutely amazing men's gymnastics - but it was half empty. Why was that? This was the morning. It might have filled up in the afternoon, but in the morning.

Affordable Ticket Guarantees (Supplementary) [3]

  • Meeting date: 14 November 2012
Right, but once you take the football out, which is a rather special sort of event, the profile is a bit less generous to the lowest type of tickets.
