What is the status of the 'London 2036: an agenda for jobs and growth' plan in relation to the ‘Jobs and Growth Plan for London’?

Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: I have a specific question for Mr McGrath. Very briefly, Harvey, employment is a key for a stronger economy and you talked very much about this document and yet it does not mention anywhere the challenge of parental employment. Given that around 10% fewer women who are parents in London are in employment compared to the rest of the UK, have you done any work on this issue and perhaps the childcare challenges that the capital faces?

Stephen Knight AM: Thank you, Chair. My question was on this issue of London’s relationship with the EU, which your report makes quite a few comments about in terms of London ‘staying open for business’. It is quite clear in terms of the need to maintain the relationship with the EU and the dangers of undermining that relationship. In particular, I wanted to ask you about - and I am reading from the report - wanting to: “... strengthen London’s voice on national policies that could put London’s status as the global hub for business and finance at risk: particularly...

I was going to ask for slightly more than Geoff Pope has requested, which was if you can provide us, at the least, with a breakdown now of the transport costs which are, if you like, capital; the investment in the Jubilee Line upgrade and so on, and the revenue costs which relate to the operational matters that you have described?

I still find it extraordinary that your idea of producing facilities that are at least as good includes a facility of a road racing track that is both sides of a main road. That is just ludicrous.

When I was in the negotiations with the LDA it was never, ever suggested that the track that the Eastway Users' Group would go back to would be on two sides of a main road. I can assure you. I was there. It was never even suggested.
