    • Meeting date: 04 February 2021
    Navin Shah AM (Chair): Thank you very much. Minister Zahawi, I know this morning already you had a very busy schedule. I have heard you on Leading Britain's Conversation (LBC), we have seen you on Sky [Network] Television (TV) and you are here this morning with us. I cannot thank you enough.

  • COVID-19 Vaccination Delivery in London (Supplementary) [13]

    • Question by: David Kurten
    • Meeting date: 04 February 2021
    David Kurten AM: I would like to ask, yes, Martin Machray if I could, back to the people who were here before. You refer to the vaccine or the injections that people are being given from Pfizer, AstraZeneca and Moderna as vaccines. However, the substances from Pfizer and Moderna are not vaccines, as people understand vaccines. They are experimental Messenger RNA (mRNA) gene technologies.

  • Environmentally Friendly Technologies

    • Reference: 2020/4066
    • Question by: David Kurten
    • Meeting date: 19 November 2020
    The makers of wind turbines, solar panels, electric vehicles and other supposedly environment-friendly technologies claim that these technologies are ‘green,’ ‘clean’ and ’just.’ Cobalt is an expensive metal used in electric car batteries, costing about $35,000 per ton. Some 59% of all cobalt comes from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Cobalt mining in DRC is often done by children, some as young as seven, with as many as 40,000 working in what are reported to be brutal and unsafe conditions 1 . Is it morally right that the GLA should be developing energy policy, without paying heed to the...
