Tony Devenish AM: Thank you. I agree with what Assembly Member Desai just said there. Talking about hate crimes, one of the issues in terms of how tensions have risen in recent weeks has been protestors on the Cenotaph and you saw them probably, Mr Mayor, the Royal Artillery Memorial in Hyde Park had a protestor standing on it. Would you support legislation to make sure that anybody that basically tries to deface a war memorial is arrested and faces the courts?

Tony Devenish AM: Good afternoon, Mr Mayor. In terms of health impacts, how concerned are you and should Londoners be about reports to do with the bed bugs on the Tube, please?

Tony Devenish AM: Thank you. I will start with the Deputy Mayor. Apart from one or two bits of emotional language, I agree with virtually everything that has been said this morning. We clearly have a major issue and we need to do more to resolve it. of course, there could be a change of Government, I hope not, but there could be a change of Government in only 12 or 13 months. We can all set out the problem, it is easy to set out the problems and there has been great work done by people. I would like...

Tony Devenish AM: Can I first ask Assembly Member Cooper not to attack people’s children, even if it is the Prime Minister? Mr Commissioner, good morning to you. Tube noise: this morning on the Jubilee line we measured 123 decibels passing Bermondsey. This is not a party-political issue and I do not want to make party-political points on this. We all want this to be sorted. Now, you have almost sorted the Elizabeth line. Are you going to be able to sort Tube noise, and how, please?

Tony Devenish AM: Thank you, Minister, for all the hard work you are doing. I would like to pay tribute to my two London boroughs, the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC) and Westminster, for all the work they have been doing with you. My question is quite blunt, Minister. Will you work with the Mayor and the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) to make sure we prosecute the malicious anti-vaxxer propaganda that we are facing here in London?

Tony Devenish AM: Thank you, Chair. My question is to Dr Tom. Firstly, Dr Tom, thank you so much for all you have done. You have always been very responsive to my constituents on all health issues and it is really appreciated. I think now what we have heard this morning is the NHS is doing a fantastic job but we need all the team to communicate, communicate, communicate and communicate some more. I am amazed that the Mayor is not here this morning because he was always banging on about being a son of a bus driver until we...

Tony Devenish AM: Thank you, Chair. Good morning. My question is to John Barradell. John, good morning and thank you for all the work you and all your borough teams have been doing with NHS partners, and the rest. It has been incredibly heart-warming to see the amount of work that has been undertaken by everybody across our public services. My question is not directly to do with the public services per se or indeed to do with the medical and economic emergency. I have seen, certainly since last Monday’s lockdown announcement, that morale amongst some Londoners seems to have...

Tony Devenish AM: Chair, I will be very succinct. Two questions, and I will put them to Jace Tyrrell, and others can come in when they get called by other Assembly Members. Jace, could you please just give us an update on where we are on business rates and what we need the Government to do? That is my first question. Secondly, would you agree with me the biggest concern is that the lost generation are the teens and early 20s that are not already in work? Let’s not always say, “What can Government do?” What can business do to...
