• Question by: Len Duvall OBE
• Meeting date: 21 December 2023

Len Duvall AM: Thank you, Chair. Talking of new year resolutions, will you resolve to continue to lobby the Government to provide proper funding for London rather than relying on increased council tax in order to support vital public services which are all facing unprecedented pressures?

Len Duvall AM: This year, you have managed to exceed your delivery targets on affordable housing despite the challenging economic climate. London is also building more council homes than the rest of the country. The Government, on the other hand, has missed its targets by several thousand. What do you intend to do in terms of the coming year? Is it more of the same or are you going to raise your game even further by exceeding those targets in the coming years if you are able to?

Len Duvall AM: In the list of successes and achievements in terms of what you have contributed to City Hall, there was a gap. You missed something out, which I thought was important - others may not think so because they would like to forget - when you protected Londoners and particularly those who were involved in the TfL/Government debacle when the Government tried to force you to include a Congestion Charge across all of London at a higher charge. You resisted it because you believed it was too high. Is that correct? But you also did something else, again...

Len Duvall AM: Mr Mayor, is it conceivable that Project 2030 is a number of projects and not just one singular project? You alluded to procurements. I do not know if you have that information. I would be happy to receive it in written form, but if you can speak to it now?

Len Duvall AM: Thank you, Mr Mayor, in the way that you answered that question. Information is quite important to get out there, because there are a lot of misunderstandings. You have made it clear in terms of the tolling, but if we did not proceed with the tolling, if ever that was an option, what would the options be in terms of replacement monies for not having tolls?

Len Duvall AM: Thank you very much. God, what an insight into GLA decision-making, not just the politics but if only we could take decisions as quickly as that and be responsive. We are rightly picking up on a number of important issues with this important policy change, which will have a major difference on family household incomes. Can we just talk about the future? I know budgets are budgets and we have to go through certain procedures, but I get a feeling that people want something a bit longer-term and they will be looking to you for that. Our...

Len Duvall AM: Sorry, did I seem to miss something; that there was a consultation exercise that you undertook that you have to do statutorily? Is that because the Tories do not like the results of the consultation as well?

Len Duvall AM: Thank you very much. Mr Mayor, in terms of all these issues, can you just quickly update us of where the Government is? You mentioned it briefly but did not tell us where we are about adding some more money into the scrappage scheme. Of course, the Members opposite have been campaigning for that, have they not? I bet they have not, but let us see if they are going to ask any questions around that. Where have we got to with Government on adding more money to the scrappage scheme, like it has given the rest...

Len Duvall OBE AM: I am thinking whether to end on a good moment; there is so much I could add. Nevertheless, in terms of the title, “Fairness of Outcomes”, the issues that sit around consultation and the issues around that, in some ways there is so much about fairness of outcomes here. In terms of some of the issues around taxation, you were rightly challenged around some of your taxation problems and you rightly defend why you make the choices that you do. Some of the issue around fairness of outcomes is: why do you think those in the...

Len Duvall AM: I have question to the Mayor about TfL vulnerabilities in the funding agreements. Is this the same Secretary of State [for Transport] who supports Land Transport Authorities (LTAs), Safe Spaces and cycling lanes, who tells you that they want you to continue doing that? Is this the same Secretary of State who is a bit confused because he is unclear about congestion charging and whether he supports a ULEZ on clean air, despite saying he supports clean air and he wants to do that? Is that the same Secretary of State that Assembly Member was referring to...
