    • Question by: Siân Berry
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2023

    • Meeting date: 06 October 2022
    Siân Berry AM: Thank you very much, Chair. My first question is also to the Deputy Mayor. In terms of going for the Games in the first place, if [Sir] Peter Hendy had not quoted Ken Livingstone , I would have done because it really is crucial that we did not go for it on the point of sport; we did it because development of the East End was the main point. That quote from Ken Livingstone ends with, “Build the housing”. Therefore I want to ask about housing and particularly overcrowding. Within the convergence framework that resulted, there were...
