  • London Recovery Board and London Transition Board (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: David Kurten
    • Meeting date: 02 July 2020
    David Kurten AM: Good morning, everybody. My first question would go to David Bellamy. I think you would be the person to answer this, but if you are not you can pass it on.

    • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
    • Meeting date: 02 July 2020
    Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: My questions are to start off with to John O’Brien. I want to ask about support for businesses in London, with a particular focus on the restaurant industry. According to data from the Office for National Statistics, as of July last year there were nearly 16,000 restaurants in London employing around 325,000 people. Clearly, the sector has been hit very hard by COVID-19. Data showed in March, before the pandemic had fully hit, that 71% more food and accommodation businesses closed this March than they had in the previous March. John, I wonder if you could...

  • Accountability of the Mayor's Advisors (Supplementary) [11]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 12 January 2005
    I am therefore intrigued that of the 45 members of staff who work for you, as listed in the GLA intranet, not one of them has the word `transport' in their job description. All of them appear to relate to the public affairs side of the brief. How does that come about?

  • Accountability of the Mayor's Advisors (Supplementary) [12]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 12 January 2005
    They are working for her and not for you.

  • Accountability of the Mayor's Advisors (Supplementary) [13]

    • Question by: Bob Neill

    • Question by: Bob Neill

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 12 January 2005
    That is a very interesting example of transparency. Finally, I could not get an answer last time, but since Mr O'Neill is here, who is responsible for the editorial comment of The Londoner? You were not able to answer it last time, Mr Mayor.
