  • Chairman's Question to Guests (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Steve O'Connell
    • Meeting date: 10 February 2016
    Steve O’Connell AM: On this side we welcome the alterations that are designed to retain as much as possible our higher London standards and apply consistency across our city. A question I have for you, however, is for the first time there is a requirement for developers to consider installing lifts in developments below four storeys. The Planning Committee had some concerns around that initially and we sought some clarification around this policy. Clearly one of the risks would be by adding potential costs to the developer they may be incentivised to increase the size of the buildings and/or potentially...

  • Chairman's Question to Guests (Supplementary) [9]

    • Question by: Steve O'Connell
    • Meeting date: 10 February 2016
    Steve O’Connell AM: Deputy Mayor, you will not be surprised to know that on this side we do welcome these relaxations. These are modest, however. It is interesting that colleagues are getting rather agitated over what we feel is too modest. I, indeed, had a report published last year that called for parking standards to be abolished in outer London and for outer London boroughs to be able to refuse planning permission based on insufficient parking. Clearly this does not go that far. If, indeed, my proposals were on the table I would understand colleagues’ agitation around that. That is...

    Andrew Boff AM: Sir Edward, are you aware of a place called Barking Riverside?

  • Incidence and Nature of Poverty in London (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Brian Coleman
    • Meeting date: 19 July 2006
    Mr Faulkner, has the minimum wage helped or hindered in your view?

  • Incidence and Nature of Poverty in London (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 19 July 2006
    I appreciate that the widely used definition of the poverty line is 60% of the median income. How was that originally arrived at, and is that an absolutely fixed definition?

  • Incidence and Nature of Poverty in London (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Brian Coleman
    • Meeting date: 19 July 2006
    Can I just come in and ask Mr Ross whether the Mayor has done any work on this? Has the Greater London Authority done any work on this?

  • Incidence and Nature of Poverty in London (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Brian Coleman
    • Meeting date: 19 July 2006
    Before I bring in Mr Tuffrey, I wonder, Mr Faulkner, whether you would like to make a contribution about the role of the Chamber of Commerce, and particularly, I know, your particular expertise on the Skills and Employment Forum, and the role it is playing in reducing poverty?

  • Incidence and Nature of Poverty in London (Supplementary) [10]

    • Question by: Brian Coleman
    • Meeting date: 19 July 2006
    I am happy to take a response from you, Mr Faulkner, but I do not want to discuss the merits of the Oyster card.

  • Incidence and Nature of Poverty in London (Supplementary) [15]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 19 July 2006
    No, no, indeed, because I think that is an important point, because I think that in the mindset of the public it is confusing when you hear that x percent of people in London are technically living at or below the poverty line. I wondered if that definition would still be applicable if the median income rose considerably in London. One might feel that the definition was less, then, to do with poverty. I suppose I am asking you: are we talking about relative poverty as opposed to absolute poverty?

  • Role of Faith Groups in Tackling Hard to Reach Groups (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 19 July 2006
    Bishop, I wonder if you think that the function of the church ought to be more proactive? Things you have just been talking about; advice groups and playgroups and all of that kind of thing, is that that people all come to you, ought you not to be going to the people?
