  • Adult Education Budget (Supplementary) [22]

    • Question by: Unmesh Desai
    • Meeting date: 08 September 2022
    Unmesh Desai AM: Thank you, Chair. Deputy Mayor, because I used my earlier time allocation to put forward the views of New City College, who are based all over London and do some fantastic work, I have a couple of supplementary questions. One of the things that the Mayor has long called for is the ability for London to have an occupation shortages list. Have you had conversations with the Government about this? Where are the talks?

Recently, Stephen Timms, the Member of Parliament (MP) for...

    • 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.

    Unmesh Desai AM: Good morning, Deputy Mayor. Yes, that was a comprehensive background you gave in your answers to the question from my colleague, the Chair of the Assembly, and to some extent you have partly answered some of the questions I was going to ask you, but I will still formally put those questions to you.
