  • London and Covid-19 Restrictions (Supplementary) [15]

    • Question by: Leonie Cooper
    • Meeting date: 12 January 2021
    Léonie Cooper AM: Thank you, Chair. I would like to address my question to Deputy Mayor, Fiona Twycross and John Barradell. We have covered a lot of ground this morning; lots of different areas that we have looked at. I just wondered if you could set out, for the Assembly, what you believe are the main challenges and the most pressing issues for the SCG going forward? This is a bit of forward look. I know it is quite hard because we are still in the middle of everything at the moment, but it would be great if you could...

  • London Recovery Board and London Transition Board (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Navin Shah
    • Meeting date: 02 July 2020
    Navin Shah AM (Chair): Before I move on to supplementary questions, just something which David said in terms of diseases not being over as such. Can I probably pick up with John Barradell as to how London boroughs will implement a local lockdown if required?

  • London Recovery Board and London Transition Board (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
    • Meeting date: 02 July 2020
    Len Duvall AM: My question is to John Barradell. John, you are not attending this meeting in your role as Chief Executive of the City of London. You have rather a special role in London. What I do not understand - and I have seen various bits in the press - is why we need a Transition Board. What is the real reason for it? I still do not understand. Did something go wrong in the first wave, or is it just this is the best way forward in terms of dealing with the pandemic in this second phase?

  • London Recovery Board and London Transition Board (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Caroline Russell
    • Meeting date: 02 July 2020
    Caroline Russell AM: My first question is also for John Barradell. The Government was criticised as being slow to act in bringing in lockdown measures earlier this year, and right now we are 48 hours from restrictions easing further. At the same time, we have several countries like Germany, Sweden and France which are showing signs of a second wave of cases, and, worryingly, we have the new lockdown in Leicester. The Mayor on Tuesday sensibly asked for clarity from the Government on local lockdown powers for our city. I understand that London does not currently have powers to bring...

  • 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. My question is, what remuneration will the members of the London Transition Board and London Recovery Board be receiving for their service?

  • London Recovery Board and London Transition Board (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Tony Devenish
    • Meeting date: 02 July 2020
    Tony Devenish AM: I have two questions, the first one for Mr Bellamy. Good morning, David. Yesterday TfL put out a press release where it boasted that there is an extra 19,000m 2 of space in central London for cycling and walking that has been created over the last few weeks, ie I presume there is 19,000m 2 roughly less road space. I am glad you mentioned the point of Saturday and the good news that the pubs are opening on Saturday. Do you worry, as some people have said to me, that Saturday will be a tipping point, where...

    • Question by: Lord Bailey of Paddington
    • Meeting date: 02 July 2020
    Shaun Bailey AM: Can I address my question to John Barradell, please. Good morning, John. It is great to see you. Earlier on you talked about everybody being worried about a second outbreak, and of course that is correct, but what constitutes an outbreak? Is there a pre-planned level where something clicks in? Is it based around R rate? Is it based around fatalities? Does that level exist in the mind of the Committee?

  • London Recovery Board and London Transition Board (Supplementary) [10]

    • Question by: Onkar Sahota
    • Meeting date: 02 July 2020
    Dr Onkar Sahota AM: My question is to Mr John Barradell, please. Testing is paramount in preventing the spread of the virus and also then tracing. How far advanced are we in London on testing? Will the testing be taking place for everyone in London for antigens and antibodies?

  • London Recovery Board and London Transition Board (Supplementary) [11]

    • Question by: Leonie Cooper
    • Meeting date: 02 July 2020
    Léonie Cooper AM: My first question is to David Bellamy and it is about the balance between lives and livelihoods. Many politicians and commentators have portrayed the journey out of lockdown as a trade-off between the economy and health and between lives and livelihoods. Do you agree that this is a false distinction and that there cannot really be a full economic recovery without the public being confident that going about daily life is safe?

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 02 July 2020
    Jennette Arnold OBE AM: Good morning, all. Thank you, Chair. Can I add my thanks and gratitude to Mr Barradell, Deputy Mayor Twycross and all members of the team for the work they are doing. I share my colleague Assembly Member Duvall’s confidence in you, John. If we needed somebody in your seat, it is good that we have you. Seriously, what can we say. We can all agree that COVID has shattered any illusions that we live in a fair city. The focus of my questions today are about protecting vulnerable Londoners, especially the impact of COVID-19 upon young...
