Land value taxation

  • Reference: 2011/1198
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 18 May 2011
Do you see a potential role for land value taxation in bringing unused and underused sites in London into their full permitted use? The Institute for Fiscal Studies' recent Mirrlees Review of the tax system suggested it would be a 'neutral and efficient' replacement for business rates.

London Green Fair

  • Reference: 2011/1197
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 18 May 2011
Will you consider part-funding the London Green Fair, to be held this year on the 4th and 5th June in Regent's Park, to help showcase all that is good and green about London?

North London Waste Authority

  • Reference: 2011/1196
  • Question by: Richard Barnbrook
  • Meeting date: 18 May 2011
You are no doubt aware of the strength of resident anger against the plans to build a rubbish processing plant in Pinkham Way, Haringey. I have had many constituent letters expressing deep concern about this proposal. Are you in a position to offer your thoughts on the proposals and will you give the go-ahead for its construction should planning proposals be referred to you?

Crime

  • Reference: 2011/1195
  • Question by: Richard Barnbrook
  • Meeting date: 18 May 2011

Crossrail

  • Reference: 2011/1193
  • Question by: Richard Barnbrook
  • Meeting date: 18 May 2011
I understand the GLA and/or component organisations borrowing requirement for the Crossrail project is £3.5 billion. Has the borrowing been made on a fixed rate of interest? Upon completion of Crossrail, can you advise how much money in interest payments the GLA and/or component organisations will have had to pay?

Olympic Security

  • Reference: 2011/1192
  • Question by: Richard Barnbrook
  • Meeting date: 18 May 2011
Are you happy with London's 2012 official security firm in light of two guards from that company being caught with explosives at the Olympic site?

Olympic Tickets

  • Reference: 2011/1191
  • Question by: Richard Barnbrook
  • Meeting date: 18 May 2011
A constituent has advised that LOCOG announced only one ticket will be available per family to semi finalists and finalists at the Olympic swimming event. I'm sure families would expect to pay for tickets, however, is there any way families of competitors can access tickets to events without the lottery of going into a ballot? Sponsors and public bodies are allocated thousands of tickets for the games which has in the past lead to empty seats at events where the recipients of these tickets have not bothered to turn up. This infuriates the families of competitors who sometimes struggle to...
