  • 'Tips' and the Living Wage

    • Reference: 2015/3329
    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 21 October 2015
    The Dept. for Business, Innovation and Skills are calling for evidence on how tips, gratuities and service charges are collected and what deductions are made from them by the employer. Given your commitment to the London Living Wage, will you condemn those practices where tips and service charges are used to boost company profits rather than going to the employees providing the service?

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 23 February 2015
    Now that this has closed, what, if any, plans are there for the use or ownership, of the site? Does it make sense for the GLA to consider ownership because of the possibility through this of consolidating ownership in the area to facilitate development of other uses?

  • LEPs and Governance

    • Reference: 2015/0128
    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 21 January 2015
    In your answer to 2014/5934 you focus on perceived problems with the governance of the LDA. This is a red herring - as with the LEP a range of stakeholders is required in any such board and the primary decisions will always reside in the Mayor's office. This does however highlight a deficiency with the LEP Board structure. Can you list the members of the London LEP Board, the organisations or 'constituencies' they represent and any 'gaps' you perceive to exist in this membership?

    • Meeting date: 21 January 2015
    City Hall inherited freehold ownership of the Excel Centre. What rate of return do Londoners get from this site? Given that this is now a well-functioning facility, is this the most obvious use of Londoners' resources?
  • Fixed Odd Betting Terminals

    • Reference: 2015/0135
    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 21 January 2015
    "The economic downturn and 'austerity measures' have coincided with a rise in bookmakers on London's High Streets, who are leeching money from Londoners, many of whom are surviving on low incomes. The sheer volume of these establishments and the nature of their business make them partially responsible for exacerbating poverty for many Londoners. What representations have you made, if any, to Government for changes in planning law in order to a) limit the number of bookmakers on any one High Street and b) restrict their activities, for example by imposing a maximum bet per spin of £2 on Fixed Odd...
