  • London Fire Brigade and delivery for Londoners (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
    • Meeting date: 10 February 2022
    Len Duvall AM: If I can just go back over some of the issues, if we set aside some of the challenges in terms of service delivery that you have, we know we have the Government thing and the feds do not really understand us and never really supported some of our services. It does not matter, regardless of political persuasion, there is always that tension.

  • How are you seeking to transform the London Fire Brigade so that it is well equipped to keep Londoners safe in the future? LFB Budget (Supplement) [11]

  • Bedroom Tax

    • Reference: 2013/0008-1
    • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
    • Meeting date: 13 March 2013
    The 'bedroom tax' will result in an immediate cut in Housing Benefit of 14% for those deemed to have one extra bedroom and 25% for two or more extra bedrooms. However, the extent to which such penalties will make a difference is questionable, as there is a significant mismatch between under-occupying and over-occupying households - with 80,000 households in London under-occupancy, against 260,000 over-crowded households. Will the bedroom tax help address overcrowding in London in any substantive way, and what impact do you believe it will have on established communities and social cohesion in the capital?
