Susan Hall AM: My questions really have to be to Fiona and David Bellamy because I would like to ask about the Mayor in particular. What role does he have on the London Transition Board other than to chair it periodically? Which one of you would like to answer me?
Given the changes to tax credits that are due to take effect in April 2016, will the new rate of the London Living Wage take into account next year's benefit changes for working people?
I know that borough leaders are aware of this, and perhaps there can be some liaison with the boroughs, as well, through the Association of London Government (ALG).
Much of the draft waste strategy, rightly, concentrates on improving recycling rates on some of the worst performing boroughs in London. What incentives are there for Councils already achieving pretty high rates of recycling? .
What funding have you and/or the Mayor been able to secure from Central Government to help improve recycling rates across London? Given all the statements that both you and the Mayor have made on this topic, does incineration have any place in the future disposal of London's waste? .
The Draft Municipal Waste Strategy sets out a desire to create a single waste disposal authority for London. Bearing in mind many boroughs are already engaged in long-term waste contracts, how do you intend to create this single authority and how will it work? .
