  • London Recovery Board and London Transition Board (Supplementary) [14]

    • Question by: Alison Moore
    • Meeting date: 02 July 2020
    Dr Alison Moore AM: Thank you very much, Chair. My question is for Niran Mothada. London’s transport system is critical to the functioning of the city, as we all know. How will your Board marry up the impact that COVID-19 is having on transport, both its finances and how Londoners will move about in the future, with individual and business needs so that London remains open?

  • London Recovery Board and London Transition Board (Supplementary) [15]

    • Question by: Navin Shah
    • Meeting date: 02 July 2020
    Navin Shah AM: Thank you very much. My question is on mental health and the question is to Niran Mothada. The mental health of Londoners has been hugely impacted by COVID-19. What are the arrangements made for supporting Londoners with mental health issues arising out of the pandemic and how is it going to be dealt with in the new normality in the capital?

  • London Recovery Board and London Transition Board (Supplementary) [16]

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 02 July 2020
    Murad Qureshi AM: Thank you, Chair. My question on childcare is addressed to Niran Mothada, the Executive Director of Strategy and Communications. Childcare is going to be a huge issue when Londoners return to work and in fact has actually been a huge issue whilst we have been in lockdown, as women have been taking up the bulk of caring duties. How can the Board support parents returning to work either at the office or from home, given that I understand 34% of early years providers are facing closure due to COVID-19, as reported by the Sutton Trust?

  • London Recovery Board and London Transition Board (Supplementary) [17]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 02 July 2020
    Joanne McCartney AM: My question is to Niran. Looking forward at economic recovery, do you think there is a balance between jobs, in terms of the amount of jobs and job security we can offer, and making sure that companies offer good terms and conditions? Is that something that the Recovery Board has at the forefront of its mind?

  • London Recovery Board and London Transition Board (Supplementary) [18]

    • Question by: Nicky Gavron
    • Meeting date: 02 July 2020
    Nicky Gavron AM: Thank you very much, Chair. I want to add my thanks to the team and the panel in front of us for all the work you are doing. My question is to Niran Mothada. To ensure that we have a real green economic recovery and a just transition, will you be building into the social recovery working group and the economic recovery working group green thinking at the very heart of all the work that it has been doing and is going to do? Also, can you tell me how you are going to translate the principles...

  • Budget and Venues Update (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    Can I just ask Mary about the LDA's perspective. The Memorandum of Understanding has been renegotiated. We have heard the assurances today about budgets but we clearly do not know what the position will be when we get the final outturn on everything. Have you got any concerns that the Government might withdraw revenue for support grant, for example, from the GLA to compensate for any cost overruns?

  • Budget and Venues Update (Supplementary) [33]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    In the event that there are major cost overruns, you have not put this into your risk assessment of the project, that we would lose money as an authority from the Government in direct relation to any cost overruns that take place?

  • Crossrail v LDA (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Peter Hulme Cross
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    Yes, you are absolutely right. London generates an enormous amount of wealth - according to the London Chamber of Commerce about £13 - £20 billion - which is then taken by the Government and used to subsidise the rest of the country, if not Scotland. We can certainly do with more money. As far as Crossrail is concerned, the Mayor has said that is probably the most important project, even more important than the Olympics. Nevertheless, the Government still found themselves with a shortfall of over £300 million and turned to the City to stump up yet more money in...

  • Priorities for the Coming Year (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Dee Doocey
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    OK, and the final thing; I know I threw so many questions at you, but will the targeted offer be distributed to small groups with multiple needs?

  • Priorities for the Coming Year (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Dee Doocey
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    My key concern is that it is not a scattergun approach that it goes to a lot of schemes but that it is targeted on very specific small schemes where it can actually do some good. Thank you.
