  • Question and Answer Session: Refugees in London (Supplementary) [11]

    • Question by: Unmesh Desai
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2023
    Unmesh Desai AM: Thank you, Chair. Good morning to the panel. My main question is to Tunde [Olayinka] and Hannah [Boylan] and it is about modern slavery. Modern slavery was described by the Archbishop of Westminster, I think in 2016 or 2017, as “the dark underbelly of London’s society”. That still remains the case, although there is a growing and welcome recognition of the issue. In the context of modern slavery, how is it impacting today on refugee communities and what is the LSMP doing to address it? If you want to start off, Tunde [Olayinka], and then if I...

  • Question and Answer Session: Transport for London (Supplementary) [21]

    • Question by: Unmesh Desai
    • Meeting date: 02 September 2021
    Unmesh Desai AM: Good morning Commissioner and to you, Mr Mayor. If Assembly Member Dr Sahota had not mentioned Crossrail, then I certainly was going to. I went to Whitechapel Station last week for the opening. I have three points about the station. Firstly, it is great, absolutely great; airy, spacious, bright. People, locals, members of the public were taking pictures on their mobiles and so on. Genuinely there was a sense of excitement among so many locals. I know that it was covered worldwide through various media outlets. We saw Crossrail trains going by as well with their trial...
