    • Question by: Stephen Knight

  • Stronger, fairer, and more innovative London economy (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
    • Meeting date: 01 July 2015
    Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: I have a specific question for Mr McGrath. Very briefly, Harvey, employment is a key for a stronger economy and you talked very much about this document and yet it does not mention anywhere the challenge of parental employment. Given that around 10% fewer women who are parents in London are in employment compared to the rest of the UK, have you done any work on this issue and perhaps the childcare challenges that the capital faces?
  • Stronger, fairer, and more innovative London economy (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Stephen Knight
    • Meeting date: 01 July 2015
    Stephen Knight AM: Thank you, Chair. My question was on this issue of London’s relationship with the EU, which your report makes quite a few comments about in terms of London ‘staying open for business’. It is quite clear in terms of the need to maintain the relationship with the EU and the dangers of undermining that relationship. In particular, I wanted to ask you about - and I am reading from the report - wanting to: “... strengthen London’s voice on national policies that could put London’s status as the global hub for business and finance at risk: particularly...
  • Approving and Planning Foreign Travel (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    Is not the truth here that there is no planning? This has mushroomed completely out of control. Until we started asking questions you and the Mayor did not know the volume of it. We are told that since we started asking questions he in particular has been amazed at the volume of travelling going on.

    That is not the point I am raising.
  • Approving and Planning Foreign Travel (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    What is behind it is I do not believe there is actually any monitoring and tracking.
  • Approving and Planning Foreign Travel (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    Can I return to planning and approval and ask Simon Fletcher what monitoring is done as part of the planning and approval process as to the volume of overseas travel?

    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    I take it that Jenny is bosom buddies with the Mayor!
  • Strategy for GLA International Relations (Supplementary) [39]

    • Question by: Sally Hamwee
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    I am interested to get a sense of where relations with Europe - or perhaps I should say the rest of Europe at the risk of alienating some people round the Chamber - figure in this. John [Ross], you mentioned the Euro Zone but that is not the whole of Europe. One could talk of the Euro Zone, the EU and Europe. We have the Brussels office costing something over £400,000 a year. Is it that that is working very well and therefore low profile? I would have hoped that the Mayor would set a high priority on good relations...
  • Strategy for GLA International Relations (Supplementary) [44]

    • Question by: Sally Hamwee
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    That thought had actually occurred to me as well, that it is included in the figures, and I think most people would regard it as international.
