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?

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?

David Kurten AM: Thank you, Chair. I would like to ask Dr Fenton. We heard from the Chair and you earlier about admissions to hospitals with COVID being the highest since the start of the declared pandemic in March 2020. How do total hospital admissions now, this January, compare to last January and other winter seasons before this year?

Caroline Russell AM: Thank you, Chair, and thank you, Martin, for that really clear description of what is happening in our hospitals and to the people working in those hospitals. I want to talk about the vaccination of frontline workers. I do realise that vaccination rollout is in early stages and that we will not know for a few months whether vaccination has any effect on reducing transmission, but yesterday the Government released guidance that said phase two of vaccination may include targeted vaccination of those at high risk of exposure and/or those delivering key public services. This week we...

Navin Shah AM: Thank you very much. My question is to Professor Fenton. We saw in the first wave that BAME Londoners were disproportionately affected by COVID-19. In fact, the figures were very damning and not acceptable in any situation. What lessons have we learned since the first wave and what has been implemented as a result to improve the situation, which needs to be done speedily and dramatically?

• Meeting date: 23 July 2020

Léonie Cooper AM: Thank you very much, Chair. My question is to Jordan. Thanks very much for that introductory statement. Small and large businesses have had to adapt their business models, as you were pointing out, and all of their ways of working to deal with the pandemic situation since March. However, from September, they face the prospect of having to change their business models again to adapt to the changes that will come at the end of December with the no-deal Brexit. Carolyn Fairbairn [Director-General, CBI] has had a lot to say about the Brexit situation. I just wondered...

Caroline Russell AM: Thank you, Chair, and good morning, everyone. Thank you to this huge panel for joining us. I am only sorry I am not going to be able to ask questions to all of you, because there are things that I would like to ask each of you. There are a lot of representatives here from businesses and industry, and I want to make sure that we keep in mind today the people who are not in the meeting. That is the workers, the recently unemployed, the furloughed and the young people that this crisis is hitting the...
