  • Question & Answer Session: London's Long-Term Infrastructure Needs (Supplementary) [18]

    • Question by: Zack Polanski
    • Meeting date: 08 June 2023
    Zack Polanski AM: Thank you, Chair. If I can turn to Caroline Sheridan from Thames Water, Caroline, the design of homes viz the clever devices that can capture rainwater and use that water, whether it is flushing a loo or watering a garden, and that can really reduce water usage, especially at scale. When we come to an updated London Plan and a new Environment Strategy, can the Mayor do more to reduce the mains water that is used in Londoners’ homes?

  • Question & Answer Session: London's Long-Term Infrastructure Needs (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Zack Polanski
    • Meeting date: 08 June 2023
    Zack Polanski AM: Thank you very much, Chair. Good morning, panel. My questions are for Charlie Wood of the Environment Agency. As we are speaking, the news is reporting the horrendous wildfires that are happening in Canada and across North America. People are being asked to wear masks because of the air pollution.

  • Economic Recovery in London (Supplementary) [9]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 23 July 2020
    Joanne McCartney AM: Yes, thank you, Chair. My initial question is to Sam Gurney, if I can, and it is about the increasing number of people who are claiming Universal Credit (UC), which we know is a very difficult and cruel system. Since the end of March, I believe, 440,000 new claimants for UC have come from London. When furlough ends, that is likely to see another spike. What concerns does the TUC have about this record number of Londoners finding themselves reliant on UC? What will that mean for poverty in the capital?
