Andrew Dismore AM: Thank you, Chair. Georgia, I wanted to ask you about the PPE supply, because the fragility of the PPE supply has been under scrutiny throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

Andrew Dismore AM: Thank you, Chair. I would like to raise the issue of connectivity and broadband, which does not seem to be moving on particularly well. A few weeks ago, Emily Thornberry [Member of Parliament (MP) for Islington South and Finsbury] raised in Parliament an example she had of a business in central London taking nine hours to upload a two-and-a-half-minute film, which is not particularly helpful. What are you doing to try to do something about this problem of connectivity?
