  • 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?
  • London Recovery Board and London Transition Board (Supplementary) [19]

    • Question by: Keith Prince
    • Meeting date: 02 July 2020
    Keith Prince AM: Thank you, Chair. May I add my thanks to all the members of the panel for all the work that they are doing across London and helping Londoners. My question is for Mr Bellamy. I am sure you are aware, Mr Bellamy, that across London there are around 5,000 people being put up in the hotels by different partners at the moment, many hundreds of whom are rough sleepers. Will you work with me and a number of other organisations that I am working with across London to provide the accommodation and support services needed for those...
  • London Recovery Board and London Transition Board (Supplementary) [20]

    • Question by: Siân Berry
    • Meeting date: 02 July 2020
    Siân Berry AM: I want to ask David Bellamy a follow-up on a written question that I put to the Mayor in May when I asked about emergency decision-making during the crisis. In answer to that question, which was question 1473, he told me that the decision to suspend the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ), Congestion Charge and Low Emission Zone was an urgent TfL decision taken by TfL’s Commissioner, but this contradicts the press release the Mayor sent out, which said that he had instructed TfL to do this. The issue I want to raise here is about documenting...
  • Catastrophic Incident Preparations (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 08 December 2004
    I wonder if you might just draw down a little bit and say is your planning based on a sector response. Listening to you, yes, you have all this equipment, but we are just used to seeing fire engines moving from A to B. How would you respond to a sector? Are you saying that you have enough equipment and resources within a given sector, and so that that would, in itself, support a catastrophic incident in that sector?
  • Catastrophic Incident Preparations (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 08 December 2004
    A lot of your learning came about after 9/11. Have you been around the table with your New York colleagues recently? I am just trying to get a sense of whether the equipment we have bought since 9/11 is really state-of-the-art. Is that something for the next two years, or should we be finding ways of working with people from Spain, New York, more so, because clearly, things move on in other worlds?
  • Catastrophic Incident Preparations (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 08 December 2004
    Last night in my constituency there was a major meeting because of concerns of movement of ordinary engines. What can you say to Londoners today in terms of your readiness from your service and working in collaboration with colleagues. Are you ready?
  • Orisis Exercise (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 08 December 2004
    Surely you have learnt from that exercise and tested, and what did you use at that exercise, because you are saying ' in answer to question 363/2004 ' you are waiting for more equipment. What is happening now?
  • London Safety Plan - Assistance to London Fire Brigade (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 08 December 2004
    Another area which could well be a target is the Tube system, and one of the things I have not really picked up is the extent of London Underground Limited's (LUL's) involvement in London Resilience. Could you just inform us, at least, of what kind of discussions you have had on that front?
  • London Safety Plan - Assistance to London Fire Brigade (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 08 December 2004
    I will direct my comments to Roy Bishop. You can well appreciate the residents of central London are particularly concerned, because the likelihood of a catastrophic incident will be that it is one of the landmarks of central London, so I welcome your response. Do your comments also cover the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea? Also, there is another issue in central London - the closure of Manchester Square. Can you confirm to me that that would not adversely affect the LFB's capability of dealing with a catastrophic incident in central London?
