    • Meeting date: 07 September 2023
    Caroline Russell AM: Thank you, Chair. Good morning, everyone. My question is for Enver Solomon. I met recently with the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants in preparation for this plenary. They told me about the experience of a woman who claimed asylum in the UK, was 33 weeks pregnant and living in asylum accommodation near Gatwick.

  • Dog and Cat Meat Trade in South Korea

    • Reference: 2022/1758
    • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
    • Meeting date: 23 June 2022
    I have been contacted by a number of people with concerns about the dog and cat meat trade in South Korea, many of which highlight the Friendship City Agreement you signed with Seoul's Mayor, Park Won-soon, in 2017.

    • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
    • Meeting date: 16 July 2020
    An article in the Sunday Times on the 21 June 2020 contains the following quote from Richard Desmond “I’ve been to dinner with Sadiq Khan and his wife.” However, any examination of your diary since 2016 does not appear to show such an event taking place. Due to the seriousness of the issues relating to the planning process for the Westferry Printworks will you clarify whether this statement made by Richard Desmond is correct and if so please provide the date and other details about when this event took place and for what purpose.
  • Leaver Rates and Vacancies in the London Fire Brigade

    • Reference: 2020/2133
    • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
    • Meeting date: 16 July 2020
    In the Q4 2019-20 People Services Performance Report the LFB made clear that they had 72 more operational vacancies than expected due to an unanticipated number of leavers. However, the report does not adequately explain how the LFB plans to avoid such a significant underestimation in future. What are you doing to work with the LFB and make sure this does not happen again given the potential impact on operational effectiveness?

    The Q4 2019-20 People Services Performance Report states that in the last 12 months there has been no overall increase in the numbers of BAME or female individuals in operational senior management in the LFB. Do you think this is acceptable, and what are you doing to address this?
