  • Question and Answer Session: Refugees in London (Supplementary) [14]

    • Question by: Onkar Sahota
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2023
    Dr Onkar Sahota AM (Deputy Chair in the Chair): Thank you. I am now going to ask a question in my own right. It is to Hannah. Failure to access to healthcare is not only detrimental for the individual but it also has public health challenges for Londoners. We have heard access to healthcare come up a number of times in the proceedings this morning. Has the GLA been doing any work on helping refugees and asylum seekers access the NHS system? If yes, what has that work been?

  • Question and Answer Session: Refugees in London (Supplementary) [15]

    • Question by: Leonie Cooper
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2023
    Léonie Cooper AM: Thank you very much, Chair. I would like to start with a question to Deputy Mayor Tom Copley, if I may. Hi, Tom. Last year, the Mayor said as the Chair of the C40 Cities Group, “One of my priorities is taking urgent action to address the causes and devastating human cost of forced migration created by the climate emergency”. I wondered if you could outline what actions overall the Mayor has taken in London since then?

  • Question and Answer Session: Refugees in London (Supplementary) [16]

    • Question by: Zack Polanski
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2023
    Zack Polanski AM: Thank you very much, Chair. Good afternoon, panel. Enver, if I can begin with you, I have met recently also with the Joint Council for Welfare of Immigrants. I also went to a protest recently with Reclaim the Sea and spoke to lots of people with lived experience of the system. Something that came up over and over again that you have echoed today is the barrier of not speaking English. In fact, recent census data shows that 303,000 Londoners do not speak English well and 52,000 Londoners do not speak English at all. Page 32 You...

  • Question and Answer Session: Refugees in London (Supplementary) [17]

    • Question by: Lord Bailey of Paddington
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2023
    Lord Bailey of Paddington AM: Thank you, Chair. This is for Enver. Earlier on in the conversation, Enver, we talked about asylum seekers’ rights to work and the length of time and people wanted to have it shortened. You said for a length of time, but you did not give a length of time. What to you, would be workable, ideal, something around that region?

  • Question and Answer Session: Functional Bodies - Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (OPDC) (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Hina Bokhari
    • Meeting date: 11 November 2021
    Hina Bokhari AM: I am going to talk about flooding. There are recent issues that I am sure you are aware of that have happened in London. If you were to examine the OPDC website, the most recent information on policies to deal with flooding go back to 2015. Can you provide an update on the development of infrastructure and capacity to deal with flood risk, especially to deal with surface and storm water runoff?

  • Question and Answer Session: Functional Bodies - Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (OPDC) (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Lord Bailey of Paddington
    • Meeting date: 11 November 2021
    Shaun Bailey AM: Good morning, Liz and David. On OPDC, I have lived on both sides of that site. I used to live down the Wood Lane end and then up in Harlesden there and so I have a keen interest. Let me just start with the main question. The original aim of the OPDC was to deliver some 25,500 homes. How many now do you expect to deliver and in what timescale?

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

    • Question by: Neil Garratt
    • Meeting date: 11 November 2021
    Neil Garratt AM: The ambition that you have for this project is pretty obvious from just listening to you this morning, but we know that so far things have not gone brilliantly over at Old Oak and Park Royal. I would like to understand specifically what the Mayor is doing to try to get the whole thing back on track. Just to recap, it is often talked about as the largest regeneration project in Europe. It feels like that launch ambition of five years ago has fizzled out a bit. You mentioned sites and capital. There was a £250 million...

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 11 November 2021
    Joanne McCartney AM: My question is to David. We have heard today about the reallocation of sites for housing in the development. I noticed in your local plan modifications consultation schedule that you still say that you are confident that you can achieve that 50% affordable housing target overall, but I want you to confirm that. Also, in that you say that you consider there are a number of ways in which housing needs, particularly affordable housing, can be met within the local plan period. Could you explain in a little bit more detail what those means are and how...
