Sakina Sheikh AM: Thank you, Chair, and good morning to Jules and Michelle. It is good to see you again. I certainly enjoyed hearing from you yesterday [7 March 2022] at our Economy Committee and from the whole panel. It is really clear that adult education has a huge and long-lasting effect on Londoners’ ability to reach their full potential. I just wanted to speak to how we ensure that we reach all Londoners equally and make sure all groups in our society are represented and, to that end, I wanted to ask what progress the AEB made in tackling...

Sakina Sheikh AM: It is great to have you here to be reflecting on what has been achieved by the corporations. Myself and my colleagues will be spending the next couple of hours drilling down into some of the details to ensure some of the fantastic things that you have outlined hold tight in their validity, which I am sure they do, but we welcome more detail.I wanted to open something slightly broader and talk about the transition in terms of planning powers. I would like you to outline in as much detail as possible how the LLDC will ensure...

For many of us, particularly the victims’ families, Grenfell Tower is scarred into our memories and the pursuit for justice continues.

Jennette Arnold OBE AM: The idea of Assembly Member Qureshi being at the pulse of London is so amazing. We are so thrilled to have him among us. My question is for Councillor Danny Thorpe. It is about the need for a robust safety net for possibly millions of Londoners who are desperate to avoid being trapped in poverty and can see little support coming their way to relieve their hardship. You spoke earlier about a new generation in poverty, and I wondered if you could give us a couple of examples of how the missions of the Recovery Board...

Jennette Arnold OBE AM (Chair): Yes, thank you. Can I start my question to Sir Peter? It is going back to a Plenary Assembly meeting that we had on 2 November 2017. The issue was raised there about the timeline which you are working to in order to return the planning powers that you either see as being on loan or borrowed from the Olympic boroughs of Hackney, Waltham Forest, Newham and Tower Hamlets. I have met with local councillors representing wards in all of these boroughs and spoken to some senior representatives and a group of residents, and they...

Jennette Arnold OBE AM (Chair): We will now go to section 4 of the agenda, and that is the question and answer session on the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC). We have with us today Sir Peter Hendy CBE, Chair of the LLDC, and Ms Lyn Garner, Chief Executive of the LLDC. Our questions to you both will be on the work and policies of the LLDC. Welcome to the meeting. To give a brief explanation, there are three lead-off questions and Assembly Members may ask supplementary questions after each question has been answered. Before asking the first question, however...
