  • Housing and Planning (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Caroline Russell
    • Meeting date: 01 July 2021
    Caroline Russell AM: I want to put my question to Daniel Bridge, the Programme Director for the Royal Docks team. City Airport sits in the heart of the Royal Docks Enterprise Zone. What impact is it having on the health of people already living in the area, and are you doing any work to address this?

    • Question by: Zack Polanski
    • Meeting date: 01 July 2021
    Zack Polanski AM: My question is also for Daniel. I am speaking to you from the Chamber at City Hall, which is on one of the more notorious public‑private spaces, More London, and we are shortly going to be moving to The Crystal. My first question is: who actually owns the land that The Crystal is on? Is it one of the GLA’s pocket strategic development sites? Is it owned by the developer Advanced Business Park? Is it someone else entirely?

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 19 July 2006
    I appreciate that the widely used definition of the poverty line is 60% of the median income. How was that originally arrived at, and is that an absolutely fixed definition?

    • Question by: Brian Coleman

    Can I just come in and ask Mr Ross whether the Mayor has done any work on this? Has the Greater London Authority done any work on this?
  • Incidence and Nature of Poverty in London (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Brian Coleman
    • Meeting date: 19 July 2006
    Before I bring in Mr Tuffrey, I wonder, Mr Faulkner, whether you would like to make a contribution about the role of the Chamber of Commerce, and particularly, I know, your particular expertise on the Skills and Employment Forum, and the role it is playing in reducing poverty?
  • Incidence and Nature of Poverty in London (Supplementary) [10]

    • Question by: Brian Coleman
    • Meeting date: 19 July 2006
    I am happy to take a response from you, Mr Faulkner, but I do not want to discuss the merits of the Oyster card.
  • Incidence and Nature of Poverty in London (Supplementary) [15]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 19 July 2006
    No, no, indeed, because I think that is an important point, because I think that in the mindset of the public it is confusing when you hear that x percent of people in London are technically living at or below the poverty line. I wondered if that definition would still be applicable if the median income rose considerably in London. One might feel that the definition was less, then, to do with poverty. I suppose I am asking you: are we talking about relative poverty as opposed to absolute poverty?
  • Role of Faith Groups in Tackling Hard to Reach Groups (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 19 July 2006
    Bishop, I wonder if you think that the function of the church ought to be more proactive? Things you have just been talking about; advice groups and playgroups and all of that kind of thing, is that that people all come to you, ought you not to be going to the people?
