    The government announced a £300m national relief fund in the Spring Budget to help businesses hardest hit by the business rates revaluation, which came into force on 1 April and has hit many small firms with punishing tax hikes. However, I am aware that only around £197k of this sum has so far been allocated. What representations have you made to London councils to get his process moving?
  • Olympic Games Legacy

    • Reference: 2017/3540
    • Question by: David Kurten
    • Meeting date: 14 September 2017
    London's 2012 Summer Olympic Games organisers justified its £9 billion pound price tag with promises to deliver not only a sporting extravaganza, but an 'Olympic legacy' of prosperity for the East London boroughs where the Games were held. I am deeply concerned to learn that some five years on, that the six host boroughs have seen a spike in homelessness and numbers in emergency temporary accommodation, and that low-income local residents have been priced out of the so-called affordable housing that was supposed to be the Games' legacy. I also note that the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC), the organisation...

  • Art and Antiques Unit

    • Reference: 2017/3572
    • Question by: Peter Whittle
    • Meeting date: 14 September 2017
    I am concerned to learn that all the detectives of the Metropolitan Police's Art and Antiques Unit have been seconded to work on the Grenfell Tower fire investigation, causing that squad's temporary closure. The Art and Antiques Squad works with overseas police forces to identify illicit trafficking of cultural goods and takes action when UK-based dealers and auctioneers report their suspicions about objects of dubious provenance. It also maintains the London stolen art database, which stores information and images of 54,000 items of stolen property. You will be aware that the squad has been disbanded before, in 1984, for budgetary...
