  • Proposal to Designate a Mayoral Development Area (Supplementary) [11]

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 17 December 2014
    Richard Tracey AM: Thank you, Mr Chairman. Edward, can I first of all thank you for organising for the letter to Kit Malthouse [AM] about Wormwood Scrubs, which of course has been circulated to all of us. All of us on this side have received emails from many people who certainly were not constituents of ours but had some concerns, so I think it has helped very much to clarify, and I am grateful to Kit for writing to the Mayor about it. First of all though, I was going to say there is a lot of experience in this...

    • 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?

  • Role of Faith Groups in Tackling Hard to Reach Groups (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 19 July 2006
    Is being more effective you going out and knocking on people's doors, saying: `You are poor. You need help from us. You need our charity'?

  • Role of Faith Groups in Tackling Hard to Reach Groups (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 19 July 2006
    Isn't that precisely the point that I have been making: that you are sitting there waiting for the poor to come to you, rather than' Brian Coleman (Chairman): I do not quite think that that is what the Bishop said at all, Mr Arbour, to intervene on his behalf. The Bishop can explain himself.
