Anne Clarke AM: My first question is to Deputy Mayor Copley. How can Londoners be better served by the current system of temporary accommodation?

• Meeting date: 01 July 2021

Elly Baker AM: My question is to Deputy Mayor Tom Copley. Returning to the subject of the City Hall developer, I do appreciate that you have said it is the very early stages of planning, but it would be really good for us to hear what you think the creation of a City Hall developer could achieve.

• Meeting date: 01 July 2021

Emma Best AM: I am just going to circle back to overcrowding which, in part, we know is due to the lack of family housing of all tenure. My question is for Deputy Mayor Tom Copley and just quite simply a “Yes” or “No”, I would appreciate. Do you think that we need a family housing target in the London Housing Strategy?

Siân Berry AM: Coming back to the discussion you had with Assembly Member Bailey on the 2021 to 2026 housing grants and the allocations and profiles for it, you kept saying it was coming in the autumn and I think we know that in the public sector autumn runs from September to the end of December. Will it be closer to September [2021] or December [2021] when we get that profile, presumably in time for the budgets?

• Meeting date: 01 July 2021

Keith Prince AM (Deputy Chairman): Good afternoon, Deputy Mayor. Thank you very much for coming down and visiting the SHC [Partnership] unit at Westminster Abbey yesterday. I am sorry I could not be there. I was at a Transport Committee meeting. You visited the unit, you went into it and you will probably tell me what you felt about it. One of the issues we had is because it is designed to fit on the back of a low loader without a police escort, it does fall just shy of the Mayor’s space standards. This does not seem to be...

You can see from the questions that you have been asked today this is clearly a hot topic for us, and also, as politicians, we are very concerned about the issue of openness and the public knowing. So far this aspect has not been in the annual report, that is other information that I have. Is that not true? This is something you bring in to the annual report or is it simply that it is the first time you have had it so it has not happened yet?

Then I would like to conclude by pushing you to go further and to be public with people like us and, indeed, the 70,000 contributors so that in things that, as it were, I get, I can see you living out what you say your policy is, which is in the question, that you are progressively improving over time. Currently, I do not see that, and I think you should.

• Meeting date: 17 January 2007

Judging from your answers, some of the information I have here that I was going to ask you about is completely erroneous, and I am going to be delighted if you tell me I am completely wrong. I would like to follow on from my colleague Mike's [Tuffrey] excellent line of questioning on openness. The feeling is generally that there is not as much openness from you as there are from other companies who have got the same sort of ethical and socially responsible stance. Can I clarify; you commented on the voting record, however my understanding is that although...

• Meeting date: 17 January 2007

Thank you, and I welcome you and thank you for coming. This is an important topic if not one that the media particularly get very excited about. This question is all about socially responsible, ethical investment, and you will be aware that there is quite a debate as to whether there is a choice to be made between returns and ethics. My own view and what is behind this question is that if one is positively engaging - which is, I think, what your strategy is - then the two agendas come together, because the long term sustainable return is...

• Meeting date: 17 January 2007

So if you have an approach or a strategy around engagement on these sorts of issues, is that in the public domain? Again, I could not find if you are engaging, which is the right strategy, what you are actually engaging on. And if you do not, will you promise to put that in the public domain?
