    • Question by: Zack Polanski
    • Meeting date: 03 March 2022
    Zack Polanski AM: My question is also for the Deputy Mayor. Deputy Mayor, I am certain that like myself and so many people ‑ in fact, everyone in this room ‑ you have been horrified by the nightly images we have seen on the news and on social media of the invasion of Ukraine, and I hope you will join me in saying loud and clear that refugees are welcome here. That is purely for humanitarian reasons. What I would love you to speak on, though, is what benefits new arrivals can have to London, to lift up our economy.

    • Question by: Keith Prince
    • Meeting date: 03 March 2022
    Keith Prince AM (Deputy Chairman): My question is to Rajesh Agrawal. Do you think that the Mayor was right to insist on an inflation‑busting pay rise for London Underground, and do you think that they have shown their gratitude in putting on these strikes?

    • Question by: Peter Fortune
    • Meeting date: 03 March 2022
    Peter Fortune AM: My questions are for the Deputy Mayor. It is a shame you did not take the lift with my colleague, Assembly Member Hall. Three hours in the car with the pair of you would have been enjoyable for everybody. It does, in all seriousness, go to show the fact that sometimes, despite the very necessary improvements to try to help with air quality, people do need to drive, especially in some of the outer London boroughs. With the expansion of the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ), that has had a real impact on some small businesses, especially...

    • Question by: Lord Bailey of Paddington
    • Meeting date: 03 March 2022
    Shaun Bailey AM: Good morning, Panel. My question is directed to the Deputy Mayor. Please excuse me because I am going to have to jump about slightly with my topics. Firstly, do you think it is right that Londoners bear the cost for developing road user charging? In your answer, you made it quite clear that we are going to have to be prepared to bear this cost, do you think it is right that Londoners and Londoners alone bear that cost?

    • Question by: Krupesh Hirani
    • Meeting date: 03 March 2022
    Krupesh Hirani AM: My first question is to Richard. One of the important sectors in London’s economy is the construction sector. It is clear from supply shortages of construction materials since Brexit and also the pandemic, as well as increasing costs, that this will leave an impact on not just the Mayor’s, but also councils up and down the country’s ability to carry on delivering affordable housing in their areas. How important is building affordable housing to London’s economic recovery and London’s businesses?

    • Question by: Leonie Cooper
    • Meeting date: 03 March 2022
    Léonie Cooper AM: I was going to ask the Deputy Mayor about the Let’s Do London campaign but, as Assembly Member Bailey has already touched on that with him, I am going to ask Richard Burge, if I may, whether you feel that the Let’s Do London campaign has delivered and whether it has been successful. Has it really done the job in terms of promoting domestic tourism and getting people back into London?

    • Question by: Elly Baker
    • Meeting date: 03 March 2022
    Elly Baker AM: My first question is to the Deputy Mayor and it is about transport and how we can support London’s economic recovery after the pandemic. The TfL Commissioner has said that London’s recovery is dependent to a large extent on the transport system. Do you agree with him?
