  • 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...

  • Chairman's Question to Guests (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Nicky Gavron
    • Meeting date: 06 February 2015
    Nicky Gavron AM: Sir Edward, thank you very much for that introduction. The big headline out of this Plan is that the Mayor’s target is not high enough to meet the housing that London needs. It does not even take the target that is given in his own evidence. We have a housing crisis. Why are you content to move forward with a Plan that does not meet London’s housing need?

  • Chairman's Question to Guests (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Tom Copley
    • Meeting date: 06 February 2015
    Tom Copley AM: I want to move on to talk about affordable housing. Would a London-wide percentage target for affordable housing be more effective at delivering the homes that Londoners need the most?

  • Chairman's Question to Guests (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Navin Shah
    • Meeting date: 06 February 2015
    Navin Shah AM: Good morning, Sir Edward. In your introduction, you made a reference to the long-term future. Can we look at that in the context of safeguarding London’s skyline? Can you tell me, please, what policies in the altered London Plan could be used to ensure that in the short and long term we do not end up with out-of-character buildings like 1 Merchant Square popping up across London?

  • Chairman's Question to Guests (Supplementary) [10]

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 06 February 2015
    Richard Tracey AM: Thank you, Chairman. Could I just pursue you a little further on the line of questioning you were receiving from Steve O’Connell about parking in outer London? Are you specifically delineating what is ‘outer London’ and what is ‘inner London’? What bothers me is that sometimes it seems that TfL, when commenting on planning applications, tries to impose the rather stricter inner London format on outer London boroughs. As you said, we do definitely need more scope for residential parking in outer London.

  • Chairman's Question to Guests (Supplementary) [11]

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 06 February 2015
    Murad Qureshi AM: Sir Edward, can I bring up the particular issue of subterranean basement developments? Last night I heard from residents of Bayswater that they have had 15 of these developments in the last 18 months. It has caused sinkholes, flooding and structural damage to properties. It is a problem not only in the City of Westminster but in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, in Hammersmith and Fulham and I understand in other boroughs in north London as well. We also unanimously passed a motion in March proposing that some limits should be made on these excessive...
