  • Question and Answer Session: Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Emma Best
    • Meeting date: 16 March 2023
    Emma Best AM: Thank you, Chair, and good morning, both. Liz, we were just hearing from [Lord] Peter Hendy [CBE] then that Mayoral Development Corporations (MDCs) “get things done”. According to the [Sir Bob] Kerslake Review [ of GLA Group Housing Delivery ], the OPDC “has not delivered any housing directly”. Is this something that you think is now a position that has changed and you feel more confident about delivery?

    • Question by: Hina Bokhari
    • Meeting date: 16 March 2023
    Hina Bokhari AM: Thank you, Chair. Liz, I was really pleased to hear that you are encouraging the right kind of developer. What measures are you putting in place to make sure that you are not working with developers who may have had a disregard for leaseholders, people who have suffered as a result of the building safety crisis?

    • Question by: Elly Baker
    • Meeting date: 16 March 2023
    Elly Baker AM: Thank you, Chair. My questions are to Liz about delays to HS2 and how they might impact OPDC. Three years ago, the Mayor said that, “There are ambitious plans in place to deliver a significant number of new homes and jobs at both Old Oak Common and Euston. I am confident these can be delivered, even if there are delays to the first phase of HS2.” Are you confident now that the start date has moved from 2026 to a window of 2029 to 2033?

  • Question and Answer Session: Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Siân Berry
    • Meeting date: 16 March 2023
    Siân Berry AM: Thank you very much, Chair, and my question is to David. I am sorry to say that I have witnessed from you what I think is quite a poor attitude to community engagement. I have been copied in to this letter, also to you, from Professor Jennifer Robinson, who is Professor of Human Geography at University College London (UCL) and I agree with a lot of what it says. The professor raises concerns about the approach by OPDC to community engagement and says there is a need for the organisation to “repair relations” with community groups, including...

    • Question by: Onkar Sahota
    • Meeting date: 16 March 2023
    Dr Onkar Sahota AM (Chair): I am now going to hand over the chair to Assembly Member Boff and I am asking this question as an Assembly Member for this area. You spoke earlier on that you are still working on the strategic OBC for the western land. Is this right?

  • Question and Answer Session: Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Neil Garratt
    • Meeting date: 16 March 2023
    Neil Garratt AM: Afternoon. Coming back to this question of what is a good developer, one definition might be a developer that does not fit flammable cladding to the sides of buildings and, if they have done that, they commit to fixing it. Have you got a policy that developers who have not signed up to that cladding charter cannot work on your development?

    • Question by: Anne Clarke
    • Meeting date: 16 March 2023
    Anne Clarke AM: Thank you, Chair, and good afternoon. We have hit on a number of times the community engagement, and sadly in London you can look at plenty of examples of where developers did not get it right in major regeneration schemes. Just to follow up on some of the questions though, I am just wondering how you think you can make community engagement more accessible.

  • COVID-19 Vaccination Delivery in London (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Siân Berry
    • Meeting date: 04 February 2021
    Siân Berry AM: Thank you for coming here, Minister. I have been looking at particularly the £23 million that was allocated by the Government to local authorities and charities last week on 25 January [2020]. This is money for the Community Champions to give vaccine advice and boost the take-up. Looking at the list, it seems that some of the boroughs within London who have not received money are some of the boroughs that have some of the highest populations of minority ethnic groups, in terms of numbers, and some of the most deprived boroughs. I can see Enfield, Croydon...

  • COVID-19 Vaccination Delivery in London (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
    • Meeting date: 04 February 2021
    Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: Minister, we know there is much concern over the so-called South African variant. My worry is that these concerns could lead to a noticeable decrease in vaccine take-up. At St George’s Hospital in Tooting yesterday, one in ten people did not turn up for their vaccine. Is this a trend you are noticing in London and what are you doing to assure the public that the vaccines are effective against this variant as well?
