• Meeting date: 10 June 2021

Susan Hall AM: This is addressed to the Mayor. Good morning. Do you think your Health in All Policies approach was successful when implementing your Street Space schemes across London?

• Question by: Siân Berry
• Meeting date: 10 June 2021

Siân Berry AM: These are questions about transport and inequality. Mr Mayor, you can answer this first. We spoke about TfL’s deal the other week. I think you would agree with me that Londoners with the lowest incomes and with the most disadvantages have suffered the most due to the impact of these funding deals. I am thinking particularly about fare rises and the suspension of free travel before 9am for people holding Freedom Passes and 60+ London Oyster cards. Would you agree with me on that?

• Question by: Peter Fortune
• Meeting date: 10 June 2021

Peter Fortune AM: Good morning, Mr Mayor. Health in All Policies will of course include housing policy, and I was quite interested to read the long history of requests from right across the Chamber, but also from subject experts as well. Kevin Fenton [London Regional Director, PHE] , the health and inequalities specialist Professor [Gurch] Randhawa [Director of the Institute for Health Research, University of Bedfordshire], the Chief Executive of Age UK Camden [Nikki Morris] and the Head of Policy and Campaigns at Mind [Vicki Nash] all requested that you review your housing policies. Mindful of some of the research...

• Question by: Emma Best
• Meeting date: 10 June 2021

Emma Best AM: Good morning, Mr Mayor. You will be excited to hear my questions for you as well. Following slightly on from Assembly Member Fortune, you say that power is now devolved to councils. Given the state of play and given in your own manifesto you committed to review all policies and programmes to reduce health inequalities, I understand your answer just then but do you believe, though, that there is some authority for you to take in making sure that the Housing Strategy has targets for family housing to avoid the overcrowding, which has had a particular effect...

• Question by: Hina Bokhari
• Meeting date: 10 June 2021

Hina Bokhari AM: Mr Mayor, in terms of key decisions, my big concern is around the economy and employment, and how we can better support the older Londoners who have lost their jobs because of the pandemic. What will you do to improve the training and reskilling of Londoners over 40 and 50 and support their access to adult education to get back into the workplace?

• Question by: Onkar Sahota
• Meeting date: 10 June 2021

Dr Onkar Sahota AM: Mr Mayor, one of the things we have learned is that your inner London zone has improved the air quality about 30%, and the air quality report on the Silvertown Tunnel was put out to public inquiry, which was not challenged. What lessons can we draw from that?

• Question by: Onkar Sahota
• Meeting date: 04 February 2021

Dr Onkar Sahota AM: I also am a GP and want to echo the comments about the tremendous efforts made by the NHS staff in delivering the vaccination programme, but there are challenges in London. If you look at the number of over-80s vaccinated, London had the lowest rate of vaccinations. If you look at the patchwork we have in London, I hear that some parts of London are more advanced than the others and I hear that some parts of London have been asked to slow down to let other parts catch up. There are some challenges. It is...

• Question by: Siân Berry
• Meeting date: 04 February 2021

Siân Berry AM: Thank you very much, Chair. I want to start with Martin Machray if that is all right. I know that we have just discussed the fact that London has been behind in vaccinating the over-80s and the fact that there are differences between boroughs. It has, I think, been hard for both you and us to get up-to-date, detailed, borough-by-borough data collated at a London level, and I just wanted to check what your progress was on making that data available to us so that we can keep an eye on things on a more day-to-day basis...

• Question by: Andrew Boff
• Meeting date: 04 February 2021

Andrew Boff AM: Dr Coffey, do you agree with the priority list published by the Joint Committee on Vaccinations and Immunisation (JCVI)? Is it the right list?

• Question by: Siân Berry
• Meeting date: 04 February 2021

Siân Berry AM: Thank you for coming here, Minister. I have been looking at particularly the £23 million that was allocated by the Government to local authorities and charities last week on 25 January [2020]. This is money for the Community Champions to give vaccine advice and boost the take-up. Looking at the list, it seems that some of the boroughs within London who have not received money are some of the boroughs that have some of the highest populations of minority ethnic groups, in terms of numbers, and some of the most deprived boroughs. I can see Enfield, Croydon...
