    • Reference: 2020/2097

  • London Recovery Board and London Transition Board (Supplementary) [11]

    • Question by: Leonie Cooper
    • Meeting date: 02 July 2020
    Léonie Cooper AM: My first question is to David Bellamy and it is about the balance between lives and livelihoods. Many politicians and commentators have portrayed the journey out of lockdown as a trade-off between the economy and health and between lives and livelihoods. Do you agree that this is a false distinction and that there cannot really be a full economic recovery without the public being confident that going about daily life is safe?

    • Question by: Unmesh Desai
    • Meeting date: 02 July 2020
    Unmesh Desai AM: Chair, my questions are to Mr David Bellamy. Mr Bellamy, in your opening statement you said that inequalities have been laid bare by this crisis. You also said we cannot go back to how things were and that this is no time for cuts. You talked about the wider financial climate and some tough decisions that have to be made. In moving forward, we heard about the work of the London Recovery Board and the London Transition Board, but ordinary Londoners out there can be forgiven for thinking there are just yet more quangos and more bureaucratic...

    • Question by: Alison Moore
    • Meeting date: 02 July 2020
    Dr Alison Moore AM: Thank you very much, Chair. My question is for Niran Mothada. London’s transport system is critical to the functioning of the city, as we all know. How will your Board marry up the impact that COVID-19 is having on transport, both its finances and how Londoners will move about in the future, with individual and business needs so that London remains open?
  • London Recovery Board and London Transition Board (Supplementary) [17]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 02 July 2020
    Joanne McCartney AM: My question is to Niran. Looking forward at economic recovery, do you think there is a balance between jobs, in terms of the amount of jobs and job security we can offer, and making sure that companies offer good terms and conditions? Is that something that the Recovery Board has at the forefront of its mind?
  • LLDC Finances (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Unmesh Desai
    • Meeting date: 02 November 2017
    Unmesh Desai AM: Thank you, Chair. David, I noted your answers to Assembly Member Bailey’s questions about the financial sustainability of the Stadium and so I will not repeat his questions. However, just to be very specific and much more direct then may I suggest Assembly Member Bailey was, you talked about the LLDC moving to a stable financial footing, you talked about long-term aspirations and you talked about making good progress, but you are not in a position today to tell us when the LLDC will have enough financial stability to be wound down. Yes or no?
  • LLDC Finances (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Navin Shah
    • Meeting date: 02 November 2017
    Navin Shah AM: Thank you, Chair. David, this morning in your opening statement you referred to the Olympic Park and particularly the venues that are there. They are becoming a major destination. That is good news and I welcome that. Leaving aside the Stadium, can you tell the Assembly what the medium and long-term financial viability is of the venues within the Park?

  • LLDC Finances (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
    • Meeting date: 02 November 2017
    Len Duvall AM: Can we move on to some of the other contracts? We might include West Ham. In one of the LLDC documents - it might be in your annual report - you talk about “onerous contracts”. David Goldstone CBE (Chief Executive, London Legacy Development Corporation): Yes. Len Duvall AM: Are the onerous contracts that we are referring to the agreements with tenants such as West Ham and UK Athletics? Also, you have other contracts on catering, as well as the E20 management. You do not call it that. There is probably a technical term--

    • Question by: Leonie Cooper
    • Meeting date: 02 November 2017
    Leonie Cooper AM: Thank you very much, Chair. I wanted to ask you about progress on dealing with the quite catastrophically large gender pay gap. You had an action plan with a series of 15 different actions, all of which, apart from one, were to be completed before the date of this meeting. I wondered if you could tell us about progress and whether you have completed all of those actions.
