Right, and those figures will go back till when?

Visit London (Supplementary) [3]

  • Question by: Angie Bray
  • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
Just one final question; do you have any sort of ball-park figure as to the number of trips that have been made by the Mayor's Office and paid for by Visit London?

Visit London (Supplementary) [2]

  • Question by: Bob Blackman
  • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
According to figures £14.6 million is being paid to Visit London and another £6.7 million for London Unlimited. What evidence have you got that there is a direct relationship between their activities and the increase in tourism in London?

Are you saying that the increase of 1.3 million more visitors to London last year is a direct result of this investment?

Mitigating the Games-time Environmental Impact (Supplementary) [7]

  • Question by: Murad Qureshi
  • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
Can I just go back to the water transport issue which, David, you raised? I am glad you mentioned Prescott Lock, which was welcomed certainly by many members of the London Waterways Commission. It is just that we would like to see more specific targets to drive that and I think that would give it a lot more focus. Also on water transport, there are parties like the Port of London Authority which are keen to look at passenger movements from the Olympic site to the O2 site; they do think that would encourage boat services north to south of...

Mitigating the Games-time Environmental Impact (Supplementary) [6]

  • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
Is that over and above the 20% renewable target?

Mitigating the Games-time Environmental Impact (Supplementary) [5]

  • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
  • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
You just mentioned wind power and I gather there is an issue about possible permission for a wind turbine on the site. Will you be able to hit your 20% renewable targets if the wind turbine is turned down? Have I misunderstood that issue?

  • Question by: Valerie Shawcross

OK. Perhaps this next question is to LOCOG. Have you clarified what your expectations are in terms of what the broad percentage targets will be for the management of the waste on the site? How much is going to be incinerated? How much is going to be recycled? Have you got any ideas at all and will that be in the planning?

Mitigating the Games-time Environmental Impact (Supplementary) [3]

  • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
  • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
When our colleagues from the ODA came to the Assembly's Environment Committee - and we did ask you at that point about the Waste Management Plan;, when would we see it, what broadly it would look like - you were very clear at that point that this was very much a LOCOG responsibility. I have just listened to your reply to Jenny's [Jones] question about the legacy and I am a bit concerned, and I think you should be reassuring us, because I think all of our experience as politicians in London tells us that it is often the design...

Mitigating the Games-time Environmental Impact (Supplementary) [2]

  • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
  • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
Can I go back to the sustainability announcement that was alluded to earlier and is presumably what you were just referring to, Seb. What is that? Is that further commitments or is that the reality behind the commitments that have already been given? That is the first question. Then in terms of the scope of it, you have said it was kind of biodiversity and so forth, but is it sustainability in an economic, social and environmental sense or is it essentially still environmental-related commitments?
