  • Question and Answer Session: Refugees in London (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Caroline Russell
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2023
    Caroline Russell AM: Thank you, Chair. Good morning, everyone. My question is for Enver Solomon.

    • Meeting date: 23 July 2020
    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...
