    • Question by: David Kurten
    • Meeting date: 25 February 2021
    In recent weeks, it has been reported by a number of newspapers and media outlets that during the Coronavirus pandemic London has lost anywhere between half a million and more than a million residents, who have returned to their countries of birth. An estimate by the Economic Statistics Centre of Excellence has warned that London’s population may have plunged by 8 per cent, the first drop in more than 30 years. If this estimate is accurate, what do you estimate the effect will be on the private housing sector?

    • Question by: David Kurten
    • Meeting date: 17 December 2020
    I was surprised to learn from the press that Mr Jack Stenner, the GLA’s director of political and public affairs, on a salary of £120,000 a year, has quit London for an apartment in San Francisco, some eight hours behind London, whilst retaining his post. I would be interested to learn if you believe someone residing in Northern California can do an effective job as member of your senior management team from 5,000 miles away 1 . 1 https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/13364319/sadiq-khan-aide-working-from-hom…

    On 13 October 2020, you declared City Hall ‘a committedly anti-racist organisation’ 1 . Given the present uncertainty surrounding the future location of the Greater London Authority, I would be grateful if you could clarify for me if that designation also applies to the GLA offices at Union Street and the Crystal Building at Royal Victoria Dock, or will those buildings be the subject of future anti-racist mayoral pronouncements? 1 https://www.london.gov.uk/press-releases/mayoral/mayor-declares-city-ha…

    • Meeting date: 17 September 2020
    On 22 July 2020, you appeared before Parliament’s Transport Select Committee and told them: ‘Unlike du ring the previous administration where the number of people earning over £100,000 was going up and bonuses were going up, in the last four years they have been going down.’ However, for the end of the financial year 2015/16, when you took over as London’s Mayor, the total number of TfL employees earning more than £100,000 was 458 - including Crossrail staff. That went up for the next two years - to a high of 617. It then dropped to 515, before rising again...
