  • London Recovery Board and London Transition Board

    • Reference: 2020/2097
    • Question by: Navin Shah
    • Meeting date: 02 July 2020
    What are the main challenges for London government as it emerges and recovers from the impact of COVID-19?

  • 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?

  • London Recovery Board and London Transition Board (Supplementary) [13]

    • 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...

  • London Recovery Board and London Transition Board (Supplementary) [14]

    • 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?

  • Housing Demand (Supplementary) [20]

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 24 October 2007
    Can I just go back to Neale's comments. I am glad to hear that local authorities are looking at areas where there is already the social infrastructure to provide additional housing. It strikes me, though, that the last time the capacity study was done at the GLA, during the first term, the local authorities in the south-west, where there is the infrastructure, the roads and what have you, got off lightly. I am talking about Richmond upon Thames and Kingston upon Thames. It seems to me, when I go through those parts of town, the infrastructure is there to accommodate...

  • Range of Housing (Supplementary) [10]

    • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
    • Meeting date: 24 October 2007
    It is good that we have got an opportunity to make a step change in the quality of development, particularly in affordable homes, with this Strategy and the Mayor's new powers. We also, as Assembly Members, had a rather robust conversation over lunch with the London Housing Corporation. That was about the very great degree of variance there seems to be at the moment between the housing management standards and the estate management standards - the neighbourhood management standards - between existing housing associations, amongst which there has been a great balkanisation; there are 500 or so housing associations in...

  • Procurement (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 14 June 2006
    The good students of Malmesbury School might be interested to know that out of all this chaos we have a bunch of Assembly Members quizzing the man who is responsible for delivering the Olympic Games in London. By the time they are voters, the Olympics will be finished. The area of the Olympics will be regenerated, and there will be many jobs there. Mr Higgins has already said that he wants to put other people on the spot to make sure it is not just the Olympics delivering all of these benefits, but it is the whole regeneration of the...
