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.

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...
