  • 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...
  • Subject: 3rd Runway Mitigation

    • Reference: 2015/2492
    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 08 September 2015
    Your report calls for a 3rd runway at Heathrow to be mitigated by a number of measures including the banning of night flights. Can you confirm that, if those mitigating factors were not introduced then you would no longer support a 3rd runway?
  • Subject: 3rd Runway Mitigation (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Tom Copley
    • Meeting date: 08 September 2015
    Tom Copley AM: Sir Howard, good morning. We are very supportive of the idea of an independent aviation noise authority. In December 2013, your interim report called on the Government to establish such a body. When has it said it will do so?
  • Subject: 3rd Runway Mitigation (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
    • Meeting date: 08 September 2015
    Len Duvall AM: Thank you for your earlier clarification around where air quality fits into the hierarchy of mitigation issues, but could you just clarify in terms of your report and your findings? Is it that pollution levels must come down around Heathrow before it is even built or could you envisage it being built and then taking pollution levels? Others would argue that some of your findings around air quality, comparisons and issues are slightly unrealistic. Give us the background of that.
  • Subject: 3rd Runway Mitigation (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Kit Malthouse
    • Meeting date: 08 September 2015
    Kit Malthouse AM MP: Sir Howard, I wanted to ask a little further about night flights. When we last met when you appeared in front of the Assembly, you revealed to me, as somebody who lives under the flight path, this surprising idea that no flights land at Heathrow between 6.00am and 6.20am and that there was a moratorium on that. Since then, Heathrow rather helpfully produces on its website the actual landing times of flights and, of course, there are dozens and dozens of flights that land between 6.00am and 6.20am every single morning, including this morning. Would you...
  • Meagre benefits from a third runway (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 08 September 2015
    Mayor John Biggs AM: I would like to be in a position to apologise for some fellow Members of the Assembly. I will start by thanking you enormously for the work you have done and for the very thorough way in which you answered the question you were asked, while recognising that there is a significant minority of people who believe it was the wrong question and that there are quite a lot of other people who seek elected office - and maybe occasionally I am a bit like this - and who would like to pretend that the desire...
